Monterey Park 警局11月13日开展酒驾巡查：首次酒驾平均代价1.35万美元
位于加州洛杉矶县的 Monterey Park 市警局11月10日宣布，将于11月13日（周五）下午4时至午夜开展酒驾巡查，查找涉嫌醉酒或受药物影响驾驶的司机。
警局局长 Scott Wiese 表示，受损驾驶本可预防，喝酒或服用影响驾驶的药物后，应找清醒司机或改用其他交通方式。警局提醒，受损驾驶不只来自酒精：部分处方药与非处方药也会影响驾驶，务必按说明服用并阅读关于驾驶的警示标签；大麻虽属合法，吸食后驾驶同样违法。

Monterey Park Police to Conduct DUI Patrols on November 13: A First-Time DUI Costs an Average of $13,500
The Monterey Park Police Department in Los Angeles County, California, announced on November 10 that it will conduct DUI patrols on Friday, November 13, from 4 p.m. until midnight, looking for drivers suspected of driving under the influence.
Police Chief Scott Wiese said impaired driving is preventable and urged anyone who has been drinking or taken impairing drugs to find a sober driver or alternate transportation. The department reminded the public that impairment is not just from alcohol: some prescription and over-the-counter drugs can interfere with driving, and while marijuana is legal, driving under its influence is illegal.
Drivers caught driving impaired and charged with a first-time DUI face an average of $13,500 in fines and fees and a suspended license, the department said.
