The CHP’s Maximum Enforcement Period will begin at 6 p.m. Tuesday, December 31, and will run through midnight Wednesday, January 1. All available officers will be out on the roads for enhanced enforcement efforts, focusing on impaired drivers, distracted drivers, and other infractions, such as not wearing seatbelts. During last year’s New Year’s weekend, 25 people were killed in traffic collisions in California, and the CHP made more than 1,100 arrests for driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The CHP urges residents to make the right and responsible decision before getting behind the wheel and always designate a sober driver.
