The California Highway Patrol in Templeton announced plans to conduct a DUI checkpoint at an undisclosed location in San Luis Obispo County on Saturday evening.

Officials select the location based on the number of previous accidents and the frequency of DUI arrests. Officers check licenses and insurance while looking for signs of impairment.

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.

Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety.
