It is never a good idea to drink and drive, but late Friday night or early Saturday morning, if you drink, you had better let someone else drive.

As part of the Kansas Department of Transportation’s Impaired Driving Deterrence Program, the Saline County Sheriff’s Office will be conducting a checkpoint.

This checkpoint is designed to identify intoxicated drivers. Those motorists suspected of intoxication will be given on-site field sobriety tests.

Efforts will be made not to severely interrupt traffic flow, but many drivers will be stopped as a part of this program.

The checkpoint will be held the evening of May 18th & and the morning of May 19th, 2012.
