LAPD Hopes to Scare Drivers Sober Halloween Weekend

The officers of the Los Angeles Police Department are expecting an increase in the number of intoxicated drivers over the upcoming holiday weekend. In anticipation, the department is going to set up sobriety checkpoints in Studio City and Hollywood.

The checkpoint in Studio City will stay up from 8 p.m. on Friday night until 2 a.m. on Saturday at Big Oak Drive and Ventura Blvd. The Hollywood checkpoint will be on Bronson Ave. and Sunset Blvd. starting Saturday night at 8 p.m. and stay up until 2 a.m. on Sunday.

The police are advising residents who plan to attend parties and other festivities this weekend to:

• Plan ahead of time how they will get home
• Decide on a designated driver beforehand
• Contact friends or family, or call for a cab, if they’ve had too much to drink
• Don’t let an intoxicated person drive themselves home

The LAPD is hoping that having sobriety checkpoints out this weekend will persuade most people to be smart and not drink and drive. If someone who has been arrested calls you for DUI bail bonds, call us. You may not need a bondsman, but we can help you determine that.
