REDLANDS, Calif. – The Redlands Police Department, in collaboration with San Bernardino Police, will hold a driving under the influence checkpoint from 6 p.m. Saturday to 1 a.m. Sunday at an undisclosed location.

The checkpoint aims to promote public safety by removing impaired drivers from the road.

Checkpoint locations are determined based on data showing incidents of impaired driving-related crashes.

Police remind the public that impairment isn't limited to alcohol consumption. Some prescription medications, over-the-counter drugs, and marijuana can also interfere with driving abilities.

While medicinal and recreational marijuana is legal in California, driving under its influence remains illegal.

Drivers charged with a first-time DUI face an average of $13,500 in fines and penalties, as well as a suspended license.

The California Office of Traffic Safety provided funding for this program through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
