DUI Checkpoint Results 
On Friday, September 28, 2018 between 8:00 PM and 2:30 AM the following morning, the Torrance Police Department Traffic Unit conducted a DUI/Drivers License checkpoint in the 5400 block of Torrance Boulevard. The checkpoint was funded by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
3 drivers were arrested for DUI – ALCOHOL.
12 drivers were cited for SUSPENDED or NO LICENSE.
19 drivers were cited for VEHICLE CODE VIOLATIONS.
594 vehicles were SCREENED.
1,304 vehicles passed through the checkpoint.
Our Police Department offers these reminders to ensure a fun night doesn’t get spoiled with a DUI:
Decide before you go out whether you plan to drink or drive. You can’t do both.
If you plan to drink, designate a sober driver before going out, or map out another way to get home safely by taking a cab, ride-share service like Uber or Lyft, or using public transportation. You can also look up designated driver services in your area using the National Directory of Designated Driver Services (NDDDS).
If you are a DD, bars and restaurants statewide have created non-alcoholic specialty drinks (“DDrinks”) for sober drivers: http://bit.ly/OTSDDrinks If you happen to see a drunk driver on the road, call 911. Offer a description of the vehicle, location and direction of travel.
See your friend or other patron impaired trying to get behind the wheel?
Take the keys or help them make other arrangements to get where they are going safely.
