Tiburon police to conduct DUI patrol on Cinco de Mayo

Tiburon police will conduct a special overnight DUI patrol operation from 7 p.m. to 3 a.m. May 5.

"Impaired driving is preventable," Capt. Jarrod Yee said in a May 2 press release. "It's a choice. If you've been drinking or taken drugs that impair, make the right choice by finding a sober driver or alternate transportation to take you places."

The department said that impairment can come from sources beyond alcohol, including prescription medications, over-the-counter drugs and marijuana, which remains illegal to use while driving despite being legal for recreational and medicinal use in California.

First-time DUI offenders face an average of $13,500 in fines and penalties, plus license suspension, according to the release.

The enforcement effort is funded through a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety via the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
