Virginia is conducting its 20th annual Checkpoint Strikeforce DUI enforcement and public education campaign. There will be extra DWI patrols and sobreity checkpoints from now through Labor Day. During last year’s Labor Day weekend Virginia State Troopers arrested 55 drunk drivers, averaging a DUI arrest every 104 minutes. In 2020 nearly a third of all traffic fatalities in Virginia were due to alcohol-related crashes. The campaign resumes for the 2021 holiday season.
