Huntington Beach Ranked No.1 in Alcohol-Related Car Accidents

Posted By Admin

According to numbers released by the state Office of Traffic Safety, Huntington Beach was ranked No. 1 among California cities of its size in per-capita alcohol-related car accidents in 2009. It is ranked above 55 other cities with a population between 100,000 and 250,000. According to the report a total of 195 people were killed or injured in alcohol-related collisions. "I don't think we knew we were No.1," said Lt. Russell Reinhart. "We knew our numbers were high."

In the first part of 2010, the Huntington Beach officials put together a report on how to address drunk-driving problems in the city. Some strategies were to track the locations where drunk-driving suspects had their last drink and to notify managers who were over-serving customers, or to post the pictures of repeat drunk drivers on the department's Facebook page. One positive outcome of the report was that Huntington police had made 1,558 DUI arrests in 2009, which equaled 1.28% of the city's population. The state average was 0.9%, which showed that Huntington police were being aggressive in fighting DUIs.

5 Cyclists Arrested for DUI

Posted By Admin

Early Thursday a group of 15 bicyclists were spotted riding the wrong way down La Cienega blvd. According to CHP, when one hit a center divider it caused officers to suspect alcohol could be involved. Officers conducted field sobriety tests on the bike riders and arrested 5 of the group. Their bicycles were confiscated. According to the arrest report, none of the cyclist were wearing helmets and few had reflectors on their bikes or clothing. The 5 arrested were between the ages of 18 and 22.

Any motorized vehicle and bicycles on public roadways are subject to California DUI laws, and their operators must have a valid driver's license and registration. The California Vehicle Code states that it is unlawful for any person to ride a bicycle upon a highway while under the influence of alcohol (or drugs). A conviction of violating the California cycling under the influence statute subjects the violator to a base fine of $250.00.

If you are facing a bicycle or cycling under the influence charge it is important that you hire a qualified attorney.
