In cities that have higher numbers of alcohol related accidents or on holiday weekends when the number of alcohol-related accidents is increased, often the police will set up sobriety checkpoints to help reduce the number of drunk drivers on the road. Sobriety checkpoints are considered a deterrent to Driving Under the Influence (DUI) and Driving While Intoxicated (DWI). The belief is that if drivers have a fear of being caught, they won’t drive while they are impaired.
