A sobriety/driver's license checkpoint will be conducted from 6 p.m. Friday to 2 a.m. Saturday within Santa Maria city limits.
The Santa Maria Area CHP is partnering with the Santa Maria Police Department in the effort to remove impaired drivers from the roads and, also, act as a psychological deterrent, according to a CHP spokesman.
Officers will be contacting drivers passing through the checkpoint, looking for signs of alcohol and/or drug impairment, along with proper licensing. Those caught driving impaired can expect jail, license suspension and insurance cost increases, as well as fines, fees, DUI classes and other expenses that can exceed $10,000, the spokesman said.Funding for the checkpoint is provided by a grant from the Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Administration.
