You should never drink and drive and to remind you of that, the LAPD is hosting two sobriety checkpoints tonight. One will be located at Vermont and 11th in the Koreatown area from 7 p.m. to 3 a.m. Further South, the other checkpoint at Broadway and 51st Street from 7 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. As the LAPD explains, "The purpose of the sobriety checkpoint is to reduce the number of traffic collisions involving intoxicated and unlicensed drivers through enforcement and public awareness." And now you're aware.

The LAPD has announced a checkpoint in an effort to get more drunk drivers off the road. Tonight from 6:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m., the intersection of Sepulveda Blvd at Nordoff in Panorama City will be host to that checkpoint. Why this location? The LAPD says that "during the past year, Panorama City has experienced over 82 collisions involving an intoxicated driver. In addition, as of July 19, 2008, there have been over 485 'Hit and Run' traffic collisions in the Mission Area."
