| TROOP L NEWS RELEASE August 22nd, 2012 Sobriety Checkpoints planned across Washington Parish Louisiana State Police Troop L with the assistance of the Bogalusa and Franklinton Police Departments will conduct two separate DWI checkpoints this weekend in Washington Parish. The checkpoints will be held on Friday, August 24th, 2012 at separate locations throughout the parish and will begin at approximately 8pm and 12am. In addition to increased DWI enforcement, Troopers will be focusing on motorists not wearing seat belts, unrestrained children in vehicles, and any dangerous driving behaviors such as speeding, following too close, and especially driving while distracted. The consequences of drinking and driving can be costly no matter how many drinks you have consumed. The task of stopping impaired drivers is a joint effort of law enforcement agencies and the public. By never allowing an impaired driver to get behind the wheel of a vehicle and reporting dangerous drivers to law enforcement, the public can play an important role in the reduction of crashes caused by impaired drivers. Making poor decisions in a vehicle such as driving impaired, driving while distracted, or not wearing a seat belt leads to serious injuries and deaths every day across the state. Making the responsible decision can mean the difference between life and death. Remember, the only designated driver is the person who has had NO ALCOHOL.
