DETALLES:
Este Día del Trabajo, the Oxnard Police Department Reminds Motorists to Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over in Effort to End Impaired Driving
The end of summer is traditionally marked by the Labor Day holiday, a time for our country to reflect on the hard work of our fellow Americans. The long weekend is celebrated with picnics, pool parties, and barbecues, as families and friends enjoy the last few days of summer before fall and winter approach. Tristemente, the Labor Day holiday is also one of the deadliest, with alcohol and drug-impaired drivers endangering themselves and others on America’s roadways.
Este año, Oxnard Police Department is partnering with police, sheriffs, and the CHP across the state to stop impaired drivers and help save lives. The high-visibility national enforcement campaign, Conduzca sobrio o Paran, runs from August 18 hasta septiembre 4, 2017.
The Oxnard Police Department DUI Enforcement Team will be deploying this weekend to stop and arrest alcohol and drug-impaired drivers. DUI Saturation Patrols will deploy on August 24-26 y agosto 31 hasta septiembre 2, 2017, entre las horas de 6:00 p.m. y 3:00 a.m. DUI/Driver’s License Checkpoints are scheduled on August 19 y agosto 31, 2017, entre las horas de 6:00 p.m. y 3:00 a.m. in areas with high frequencies of DUI collisions and/or arrests. These extra officers on the road, along with routine patrols, are aimed to drastically reduce impaired driving on our community’s roadways.
Statistics nationwide show a dangerous trend in impaired driving. Según la Administración Nacional de Seguridad Vial (NHTSA), 10,265 personas murieron en choques por conducir ebrio en 2015, a three percent rise in deaths over 2014. That’s roughly one person killed every 51 minutes in 2015. That’s the equivalent of 20 jumbo jets crashing each year, with no survivors. This is why the Oxnard Police Department is working to remind drivers that impaired driving is not only illegal, it is a matter of life and death.
Los oficiales estarán en busca de signos de alcohol y / o drogas deterioro. Cuando sea posible, especialmente oficiales entrenados estarán disponibles para evaluar los sospechosos de conductores ebrios con las drogas, que ahora representa un número creciente de accidentes por conductores con discapacidad.

Marijuana use can also be impairing, especialmente en combinación con alcohol o de otras drogas, y puede resultar en un DUI.
Plan your sober ride home before the party begins as the end of summer activities wraps up. It is never okay to drive impaired. Even if you’ve had one alcoholic beverage, designate a sober driver or plan to use public transportation to get home safely.
Drivers are encouraged to download the Designated Driver VIP, or “DDVIP,” free mobile app for Android or iPhone. The DDVIP app helps find nearby bars and restaurants that feature free incentives for the designated sober driver, from free non-alcoholic drinks to free appetizers and more.

Los conductores tomados conductores ebrios pueden esperar que el impacto de un arresto por DUI para incluir tiempo en la cárcel, multas, matrícula, clases de DUI, license suspensions and other expenses that can exceed $10,000.
