SAN MARCOS: 14 arrested at traffic checkpoint

[svelte]

[quote=jpinpb]I am surprised they had 14 arrests on a Sunday night in San Marcos and it wasn’t a holiday or anything.[/quote]

Article says Saturday night, not Sunday night.

I was actually stopped at a checkpoint in Lake Elsinore about a week ago. Looks like they are becoming very common.

San Elijo Road has become a major route between Carlsbad and the 15. Maybe on a Sat night, it is a major route between Cal State SM students and the bars on Carlsbad Village Drive.

Thanks. Saturday night. How did I miss that. Check points are easier to get higher quantities of DUI than individually driving on the road. But once people figure out where the checkpoints are set up, then they just avoid it. Though if you’re drunk enough, you don’t care, remember or think you’re drunk. I think that maybe sometimes that is the problem. People get drunk but don’t think they are.

Someone already mentioned it but it is important not to discount that this is now a major arterial road from the NC Inland area which includes CSU San Marcos to the coast. I wonder how many were students heading back from a night of partying.

[quote=jpinpb]Drunk-walking is more dangerous? Maybe to oneself. Driving drunk, you can kill passengers in your car and the driver and/or passengers of the car you hit, or the pedestrians on the road.[/quote]

Yes, they make that point. And the obvious and safest solution is to call a cab regardless.
