South Dakota Announces December Sobriety Checkpoints
The South Dakota Highway Patrol has revealed that sobriety checkpoints will be set up across 15 counties throughout December. These efforts aim to catch and deter impaired driving during the holiday season.
Details of the Sobriety Checkpoints
- Locations will be spread over 15 different counties.
- The checkpoints are scheduled throughout the entire month of December.
- The initiative focuses on reducing drunk driving incidents during a time known for increased holiday travel and celebrations.
“These checkpoints reinforce our commitment to keeping South Dakota roads safe during the busy holiday period,” said a Highway Patrol spokesperson.
Purpose and Impact
