Here's Your Labor Day Weekend DUI Checkpoint Rundown

But no matter how hard you work, Los Angeles area police are granting no get-out-of-jail-free cards to those suspected of driving under the influence.

"Over the past three years, there have been 7,048 DUI-related traffic collisions in Los Angeles, which have resulted in 60 fatalities and 2,818 injuries," according to the LAPD.

If you are planning a gathering or celebration with alcohol included, or if you are out on the town, plan ahead and designate a non-drinking sober driver."
