According to a media release, State Police are bringing awareness to these events in an effort to reduce alcohol related fatalities through continued media attention and intensive advertising. Studies show that these checkpoints are helping to change society's attitude about drinking and driving.
Hundreds of lives could be saved each year if every driver had the courage to make the right decision not to drink and drive.
Again, New Mexico State Police will be conducting sobriety checkpoints; saturation patrols; and registration, insurance and driver's license checkpoints in Luna County and all New Mexico counties during the month of March 2019.
