REMINDER: Main Line Cops Cracking Down On DUI This Weekend

It's pretty simple: drive sober or get pulled over. And a Main Line police department will be out enforcing that rule this weekend.

In case you missed it, the Main Line will see roving DUI patrols and DUI checkpoints this weekend in an effort to crack down on impaired driving in the area.

On Friday, Sept. 8 through Sunday, Sept. 10, Lower Merion Township Police will have impaired driving checkpoints stationed throughout the township.

Not only will checkpoints be in place, increased roving patrols will be out on the streets looking for impaired drivers.
