Be Safe and Sober this St. El día de Patrick
If you are celebrating St. El día de Patrick, remember to do so responsibly by having a plan to get home safely. esta St. El día de Patrick (Marzo 17), the Oxnard Police Department will hold a DUI Checkpoint from 5:00 p.m. a 12:00 a.m. en un lugar no revelado dentro de los límites de la ciudad. en adición, specially trained officers will be on patrol looking for drivers suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.
On St. El día de Patrick 2019 en California, seven people were killed, y 116 others were injured in crashes caused by driving under the influence. Not only does driving under the influence put yourself and others on the road at risk, but it also hurts financially; attorneys’ fees, multas, costos judiciales, insurance rate hikes, and car repairs can reach $15,000 or more in California.
California’s public health guidance advises to limit mixing with people you don’t live with as much as possible to help reduce the spread of COVID-19.
