Driving under the influence (DUI) checkpoints are roadblocks set up by law enforcement to deter and detect drunk driving. While DUI checkpoints can be effective in reducing drunk driving, they can also be a source of frustration for drivers who are not intoxicated. If you are concerned about being stopped at a DUI checkpoint, there are several things you can do to avoid them.
One way to avoid DUI checkpoints is to be aware of where they are likely to be located. DUI checkpoints are often set up in areas with a high volume of traffic, such as near bars and restaurants. They are also more likely to be set up during peak drinking hours, such as on weekends and holidays. If you are planning on driving during these times, be sure to be aware of the potential for DUI checkpoints and plan your route accordingly.
