The California Highway Patrol’s local offices are heading an “Avoid the 20” campaign starting Friday through the end of the year.
According to an announcement from the CHP:
Enhanced DUI enforcement is in store for Monterey County and San Benito County as Avoid the 20 begins its eighth annual holiday crackdown on Friday. The enforcement begins a new year of special funding by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The effort ends on New Year’s Day, covering 20 days. Avoid the 20 is a task force named so that if you don’t drink and drive, you will avoid begin arrested by officers from any of the 20 participating agencies. The DUI task force will field 20 saturation patrols scattered throughout the counties, and a Thursday, Dec. 19 sobriety checkpoint, along with several days of maximum freeway enforcement by the three area commands of the CHP.
