Before you go out tonight keeps a heads up for DUI checkpoints.
There are at least three DUI checkpoints the Orange County DUI lawyers are aware of.
On Friday July 22 in the City of Orange between 8 p.m. and 3 a.m. Orange Police will conduct a checkpoint in the area of 1600 N. Tustin, west of 55 freeway, between Katella and Taft.
Also on Friday evening in Santa Ana the Santa Ana Police will conduct a DUI checkpoint between 7:30 p.m. until 1 a.m. on Edinger near Grand.
On Saturday Long Beach Police will conduct a DUI checkpoint in the Belmont Shore area between 6 p.m and 2 a.m.
Huntington Beach DUI lawyer Michael L. Guisti explains if you see a DUI checkpoint ahead you have the legal right to turn around and not go through it, however, attorney Guisti stresses, when you turn around just make sure you're not breaking any traffic laws.
Many times, Orange County DUI attorney Guisti says, somebody approaching a DUI checkpoint will suddenly make a U-turn crossing over the double yellow lines, which gives police the right to pull you over.
Guisti says police can pull you over if they think you're DUI. Also, Guisti notes, if you have some issue with your car like a taillight out expect to be pulled over.
Newport Beach DUI lawyer Guisti points out that if you enter a DUI checkpoint and you're caught driving without a license or driving on a suspended license police can cite you and impound your car.
