El evitar los 14 DUI Task Force is giving fair warning to all partygoers. “You’ll see us making plenty of stops during this highly visible enforcement period. If we suspect anyone is driving while intoxicated, officers will show zero tolerance for drunk driving,” said Chief Jeri Williams, Departamento de Policía de Oxnard.
Desafortunadamente, the excitement and celebrations of the holiday season can lead to terrible decisions– and serious legal consequences.
Data shows that the holiday season is a particularly deadly time due to the increased number of drunk drivers on the roads, and every law enforcement agency in the county is prepared to stop and arrest any drunk driver they see to keep roads safe.
Nationally in the four years from 2007 a 2011 había 4,169 people killed during the month of December in crashes that involved drivers with Blood Alcohol Concentrations (LAC) de .08% o mayor. In California during those same five Decembers, 505 were killed and thousands seriously injured.

If you choose to drive drunk, we will be looking for you, we will stop you, and you will be arrested.”

Drunk drivers often face jail time, the loss of their driver licenses, higher insurance rates, and dozens of other unanticipated expenses ranging from attorney fees, costos judiciales, car towing and repairs, to lost wages due to time off from work. Even worse, a drunk driver can cause a traffic crash that claims someone’s life, or their own.
Please follow these tips to keep the holidays safe and happy:

· Even one drink can impair your judgment and increase the risk of getting arrested for driving drunk—or worse, the risk of having a crash while driving.
· If you will be drinking, do not plan on driving. Plan ahead; designate a sober driver before the party begins.
· If you have been drinking, do not drive. Call a taxi, phone a sober friend or family member or use public transportation. Be responsible. If someone you know is drinking, do not let that person get behind the wheel.
· If you see an impaired driver on the road, contact law enforcement. Your actions may save someone’s life, and inaction could cost a life.

Recordar, it is never safe to drink and drive: Conduzca sobrio o Paran.
