Sobriety Checkpoints in Herndon

Drivers who consume their ABC Store purchases before getting behind the wheel of a car in the Town of Herndon run the risk of being stopped at a sobriety check point.

Earlier this month, the Town of Herndon Police conducted a sobriety and driver’s license checkpoint between the hours of 8:30 pm and 3:00 am.

Police arrested one driver for DUI, and cited 8 drivers who did not have their operator’s license with them, 11 unlicensed drivers, and 3 child safety seat violations.

For the DUI, it was the person’s second time in 10 years being caught driving with a license that had been purchase propecia previously revoked for another DUI offense.

Herndon car crash lawyer Doug Landau appreciates the efforts of the Town of Herndon Police to keep our citizens safe.  “A sobriety check point is really meant to be a deterrent.  If knowing that you could pass through a random checkpoint at any time stops even one driver from getting behind the wheel while intoxicated, then it is worth the inconvenience of innocent drivers being momentarily stopped.”
