Happy hour patrons may want to reconsider before hopping behind the wheel after cocktail-hour tonight.
The Santa Monica Police Department will be conducting a driver’s license and sobriety checkpoint in the 3200 block of Santa Monica Boulevard at some point this evening. The checkpoint is in accordance with a state of California — Office of Traffic Safety grant in support of the “You Drink & Drive. You Lose” national campaign. The goal of the campaign is to reduce the number of victims killed and injured in alcohol-involved crashes in cities participating in the program.
