DUI Checkpoint on Friday

The Newport Beach Police Department Traffic Unit will be conducting a DUI/Drivers License Checkpoint on Friday, August 28th, 2015 at an undisclosed location in Newport between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m.

UPDATE:
Location = Jamboree & Santa Barbara Drive (near the police station).
If you want to get somewhere on time tonight, re-route around that area. They will be there until 2am
Thank you to our anonymous tipper for reporting the DUI checkpoint location tonight!

DUI Checkpoints are claimed to reduce drunk driving mostly by deterrent, but also serve to actively arrest those who are driving under the influence.

This is a good time remind everyone that when you drink, please call a taxi or use Uber, Lyft, or another service to ensure that you and others make it home safely!

New users of Uber can use my code of “JTF63” and it will pay for the first $20 of your fare.  You can download Uber here: https://get.uber.com/invite/jtf63

New users of Lyft can use my code of “SAVENEWPORT” and it will pay for the first $20 of your fare.  You can download Lyft here: https://www.lyft.com/invited/SAVENEWPORT

You can call a Yellowcab at 1-800-4-MY-TAXI
