What Are DUI Checkpoints?
DUI checkpoints are roadblocks established by law enforcement to check for drivers who are drinking and driving. Driving under the influence (DUI) and driving while intoxicated (DWI) are against the law in many regions of the world and law enforcement take a proactive stance on enforcing these laws to reduce the risk of injuries and deaths on the road. Also known as sobriety checkpoints, DUI checkpoints are most commonly seen on holidays, when there is an increased concern that people may drink and drive.
