Avoiding DUI Arrests During the Summer Months
This summer, you can expect to see an increase in the number of patrol cars on the roadway. There is usually heightened DUI (driving under the influence) enforcement in Los Angeles County during the summer months. There will likely be saturation patrols in beach communities and an increased number of sobriety checkpoints in busy areas, especially near bars and restaurants. However, there are a number of ways in which you can avoid being arrested for a DUI.
First and foremost, it is vital to your own well-being that you do not get behind the wheel if you have been drinking. Depending on your body mass and food recently consumed, it may only take a couple of drinks to exceed the legal limit. California Vehicle Code Section 23152 (a) states that it is illegal to operate a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.
