DUI Checkpoints set in Central Pennsylvania

(WTAJ) — The DUI task force will be conducting multiple events this week to help prevent driving under the influence in Pennsylvania.

These events include sobriety checkpoints, roving patrols and cops in shops, including posing as employees at beer distributors in Pennsylvania.

Sobriety checkpoints are well-lit and manned by uniformed officers.

Roving patrols utilize uniformed officers in marked police vehicles. Drivers are reminded to always be alert while in the vicinity of emergency personnel and vehicles. Don’t forget that Pennsylvania has a “Move Over” law.

Cops in shops utilize police officers in uniform or civilian attire. Officers may pose as employees or customers of six-pack stores and distributors attempting to deter liquor law violations.

These events are set to happen this week in Blair County .

The DUI task force reminds you:

• Don’t drink & drive
• Know if your prescription medication affects your driving ability.
• Wear your seatbelts.
• Allow enough driving time so that you are not rushed.
• Be a defensive driver; be alert to all traffic, pedestrians, and actual or potential hazards.
• Remember: Impaired driving is 100% preventable

The DUI Task Force is committed to reducing the number of alcohol-related crashes, injuries, and deaths in Blair County.
