What to Do (and Not Do) at Sobriety Checkpoints

Every Memorial Day, state troopers begin setting up sobriety checkpoints to decrease the traffic flow from sloth-like to gridlock. Here is what you are supposed to do. Give the officer your license and answer their questions. Here is what you don’t do. Trust me.

• Have a whiskey scented air freshener
• Ask if there are any escaped convicts on the loose
• Don’t take their picture
• Don’t talk about their gun
• Don’t say things like “You need a license to drive?”
