HPD to Conduct Fourth of July DUI Checkpoints
TEXAS, JUL 1 – Texas DPS will conduct DUI checkpoints and patrols from July 3-7 to reduce impaired driving, reckless behavior, and unsafe fireworks use during the holiday, citing over 59,500 citations last year.
- Various law enforcement bodies throughout Colorado, including the state patrol and numerous local agencies, intensified efforts to enforce DUI laws during the Fourth of July holiday weekend through July 7.
- This enforcement followed concerns about impaired driving fatalities, as July 2024 recorded 28 deaths, the highest that year, despite a 15% overall annual decrease to 82 deaths so far.
- Authorities implemented sobriety checkpoints and urged drivers to plan sober rides, refrain from drinking and driving, and adhere to laws like using the left lane for passing and slowing in hazards.
- During last year’s July 4 enforcement campaign, troopers handed out over 59,500 citations and warnings, with more than 335 related to seat belt violations, and made 212 arrests for DWI offenses.
- The crackdown aims to reduce impaired driving deaths, encourage safe celebrations, and promote public awareness about the dangers of intoxicated driving and boating.
