| Moorpark, CA – The Moorpark Police Department conducted a Driver’s License/DUI Checkpoint on Friday, August 4, 2023. The checkpoint was held in the westbound lanes of Tierra Rejada Road near Mountain Trail Court, between the hours of 7:00 p.m. and 12:00 a.m. During the checkpoint 482 drivers were screened, resulting in six drivers being issued citations for driving without a license or driving with a suspended license and two citations were issued for other offenses. Drivers caught driving impaired and charged with DUI can expect the monetary impact of a DUI conviction to be approximately $13,500. This included fines, fees, DUI classes, license suspension, and possible jail time. The Moorpark Police Department reminds drivers that “DUI Doesn’t Just Mean Booze.” Prescriptions drugs, particularly those with a driving or operating machinery warning label, can cause impairment and result in a DUI arrest. Marijuana can also cause impairment, especially in combination with alcohol or other drugs. The Moorpark Police Department will be conducting another Driver’s License/DUI Checkpoint in the future, in our ongoing commitment to take impaired drivers off our streets and highways. Driver’s License/DUI Checkpoints aid in lowering the risks for deaths and injuries associated with impaired driving. Funding for this checkpoint was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, in association with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. |
