COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- Drinking and driving this weekend? Better watch out.
Local law enforcement agencies are together conducting sobriety checkpoints on Friday, May 28 at the start of the Memorial Day weekend.
All drivers stopped at checkpoints will undergo a brief check to determine if they are operating their cars under the influence of alcohol and/or narcotics, and if no impairment is found, they will quickly be dismissed.
The effort is commonly known as "100 Days of Heat" and is a combined effort of the Colorado Springs Police Department, Colorado Department of Transportation Checkpoint Colorado Campaign, Colorado State Patrol and volunteers from Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD).
"100 Days of Heat" is an educational program designed to decrease the number of intoxicated drivers on Colorado roadways, particularly during the summer holiday season.
