Kaine announces newest attack on drunken driving


Posted on Aug 27, 2008

Gov. Timothy M. Kaine joined local and state law enforcement officials yesterday to kick off Checkpoint Strikeforce, an annual campaign to curb drunken driving on Virginia's roads.

In 2007, there were 378 alcohol-related traffic fatalities in Virginia, amounting to roughly one-third of all traffic fatalities. There were also nearly 29,000 convictions in the state for driving under the influence.

As part of the Checkpoint Strikeforce program, law-enforcement agencies will run at least one sobriety checkpoint or saturation patrol each week in the Richmond region.
