Oxnard, Calif. – One driver arrested for DUI while conducting a DUI checkpoint on July 11, 2020. The checkpoint was held at Oxnard Blvd. south of Wagon Wheel Road from 8:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m.
15 drivers were cited for operating a vehicle unlicensed or with a suspended/revoked license, six traffic citations issued, one vehicle was towed, and 767 vehicles screened.
Checkpoint locations are based on a history of crashes and DUI arrests. The primary purpose of checkpoints is not to make arrests, but to promote public safety by deterring drivers from driving impaired.
As businesses continue to reopen, including bars and restaurants, impaired driving remains a top traffic safety concern.
Funding for this checkpoint was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
