The Newport Beach Police Department Traffic Unit will be conducting a DUI/Drivers License Checkpoint on March 17th, aka: St. Patricks Day. The DUI Checkpoint will be at a yet-undisclosed location somewhere within the city of Newport Beach.
The cost of a ride home is cheap. Drivers caught driving impaired can expect the impact of a DUI arrest to include jail time, fines, fees, DUI classes, license suspensions and other expenses that can exceed $10,000.
DUI Checkpoints are claimed to reduce drunk driving mostly by deterrent, but also serve to actively arrest those who are driving under the influence. They also cause significant traffic delays, so if you are in a rush, be aware!
You can always check for traffic delays at http://savenewport.com/traffic
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!
Checkpoints generally consist of about 30 officers, according to historic averages. These officers spend 8 hours for a full days work between 8pm and 2am. The pool of your tax dollars that fund this effort are from the California Office of Traffic Safety.

MAKE NOTE:
1) 18004mytaxi is no longer working, call the Yellow Cab OC number, above.
2) The Downtowner has been run out of business by Diane Dixon’s seasonal bus idea, so this is no longer a viable way to safely move around town if you’ve had a drink or two.
