FHP Plans Monthly Checkpoint On Highway 97
August 11, 2008
The Florida Highway Patrols says that it is planning a driver’s license and vehicle safety checkpoint somewhere on Highway 97 between now and Thursday. The checkpoints on Highway 97, according to the FHP, are becoming a routine monthly event.
Recognizing the danger presented to the public by defective vehicle equipment, troopers will concentrate their efforts on vehicles being operated with defects such as bad brakes, worn tires and defective lighting equipment. In addition, attention will be directed to drivers who would violate the driver license laws of Florida.
The patrol has found these checkpoints to be an effective means of enforcing the equipment and driver license laws of Florida while ensuring the protection of all motorists.

I agree with monthly checks but I would not mind if these checks were held weekly. Defective cars and impaired drivers are a threat to everyone !
