So, 1% of our drivers have suspended licenses...not just expired licenses, but suspended. 1% were impaired, too.

With 6-8 DUI arrests, you might also think that these checkpoints would "pay" for themselves from the fines these citizens will soon be shelling out. Seems we ought to be conducting more of them if they are revenue neutral, eh?
