State Police Planning DUI Checkpoints For Beaver County In Coming Weeks

A sobriety checkpoint will be conducted by the Pennsylvania State Police within Beaver County in the upcoming weeks. State police say motorists that encounter the checkpoint will be stopped briefly when there is an indication that a driver has consumed alcohol or controlled substances, or committed any other violation of the law, the occupants may be detained for further investigation. Motorists are advised to be aware of their surroundings and to have their license, registrations and insurance cards readily available. Motorists are also encouraged to drive sober or get a designated driver, along with using their seat belts. Primary emphasis will be on driving under the influence violations, but all laws will be enforced. Motorists are also reminded of the Steer Clear Law which states that motorists must move over to lane furthest away from stopped emergency vehicles and/or slow down if it is not possible to move over.
