DUI Checkpoint Coming On State Road

LABELLE, FL. - The Florida Highway Patrol, Fort Myers District, will conduct a Comprehensive Roadside Safety Checkpoint (DUI Checkpoint) on June 28, 2013, commencing at 11:00 p.m. near 1830 State Road 29, Labelle, Florida.

The operation will cease at 2:00 a.m. on June 29, 2013. FHP sets up such details to proactively remove impaired drivers from the roadways and ultimately enhance the safety of the motoring public. Troopers conducting the checkpoint will monitor those who pass through to ensure they are properly licensed and driving sober.

Driving impaired from alcohol or drugs put everyone on the roadways in danger. Florida law considers a driver with .08 or higher Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) to be impaired. Drivers under the age of 21 with a BAC of .02 or higher are also in violation of Florida law.

The Florida Highway Patrol would like to remind everyone that *FHP (*347) dialed from any cell phone contacts FHP should you need to report an aggressive driver or require roadside assistance.
