Pennsylvania DUI Checkpoints to Run from July 3rd to July 8th

On behalf of Coover & Associates | Jul 3, 2013 | Firm News

As another 4th of July holiday and ensuing weekend approaches, beware of DUI checkpoints and roving patrols through the state of Pennsylvania.  Even if your home county has not announced a DUI checkpoint, there will still be police patrolling the roadways.  Since it is a long holiday weekend, this means increased police presence through the weekend.  If you’ve had too much to drink, take a cab home.  Or, even better, have a designated driver chosen before you start celebrating.  Several people died in alcohol-related crashes last year around the 4th of July, according to PennDOT.

Additionally, the blood alcohol content (B.A.C.) threshold for a DUI is 0.08 or greater for adult drivers 21 years or older and just 0.02 or higher for motorists who are under the age of 21.  If convicted of a DUI, the offender may be subjected to penalties such as jail time, license suspension, and fines ranging form $300.00 to $10,000.00.  Always remember as well that driving under the influence of drugs may be charged as DUI as well, depending on the circumstances.
