San Luis Obispo police officers arrested three people for DUI and cited one drivers for operating a vehicle without a license or a revoked/suspended license over the weekend, according to police.

On Friday night, 418 cars were contacted at a DUI checkpoint on the 900 block of Marsh Street. The primary purpose of DUI checkpoints is to promote public safety through education and by taking suspected impaired drivers off roads.

Funding for the checkpoint was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

“cited one drivers for operating a vehicle without a license or a revoked/suspended license”, so if you don’t have a license or it is suspended you are just given a citation and allowed to continue to driver without a license??????


The uneducated(and irresponsible) part of society, this checkpoint has only been advertised all week long. Maybe they don’t read local news.
