Santa Rosa police will conduct a DUI Checkpoint tonight at an undisclosed location. It’s scheduled from 6:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. to remove impaired drivers from the roadways. Checkpoint locations are determined from data showing incidents of impaired driving-related crashes. Besides being dangerous and illegal, the consequences of getting a DUI are expensive: Drivers charged with a first-time DUI face an average of $13,500 in fines and penalties, as well as a suspended license. Funding for the DUI Checkpoint was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
