Results from the Beverly Hills Police Department’s most recent DUI/Driver’s License checkpoint on Feb. 28 bode well for late night City driving, with the department reporting just one DUI arrest over the course of the five-hour checkpoint.
Held at Santa Monica Boulevard between Crescent Drive and Canon Drive between the hours of 9 p.m. and 2 a.m. using a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety Administration, a total of 1,172 cars passed through the checkpoint during that time, of which 266 vehicles were screened. Of the two DUI investigations conducted, just one resulted in a DUI arrest. In addition, four drivers were screened for failing to have a driver license in their possession, two of which were cited and arrested for operating a vehicle unlicensed or with a suspended/ revoked license.
