Warning to drivers in Glenn County: Stay sober. And have your licenses ready.
The Willows Area Division of the California Highway Patrol plans to conduct a driving while under the influence and driver’s license safety checkpoint somewhere in Glenn County on Sunday, December 15, Public Information Officer Caleb Cleek stated in a press release on Thursday, December 12.
“The goal of the CHP is to ensure the safe passage of each and every motorist by targeting roads where there is a high frequency of intoxicated or unlicensed drivers,” the press release read. “A sobriety/driver’s license checkpoint is a proven effective tool for achieving this goal and is designed to augment existing patrol operations.”
Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Vehicles will be checked for drivers who are under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs, or driving while unlicensed. The objective is to send a clear message to those individuals who consider driving and mixing alcohol or drugs, or driving when unlicensed, that you may be caught and your vehicle may be towed away.
Consider yourselves warned.
