“There is no excuse for driving impaired. If you choose to drink or use a substance that affects your ability to drive, make a plan and stay out of the driver’s seat,” CHP Commissioner Sean Duryee said. “Your decision could be the difference between everyone getting home safely and a tragedy that can change lives forever.”
During the 2025 Labor Day enforcement period, CHP officers made more than 1,200 impaired-driving arrests, according to the agency.
