The Yucca Valley Police Department will be out on Sunday, August 6, 2023, from 4:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. looking for drivers suspected of driving under the influence (DUI).
The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department reminds the public that impaired driving is not just from alcohol. Some prescription medications and over-the-counter drugs may interfere with driving. Always follow directions for use and read warning labels about driving. While medicinal and recreational marijuana are legal, driving under the influence of marijuana is illegal.
Drivers caught driving impaired and charged with a first-time DUI face an average of $13,500 in fines and penalties, as well as a suspended license.
