Cops display dangers of Spring Break DUI Thursday at El Camino College
As Spring Break activities get underway, South Bay police officers will join with Mothers Against Drunk Driving to educate El Camino College students about the dangers of impaired driving.
The "Avoid the 100" task force, previously known as the South Bay Regional Driving Under the Influence Task Force will be at El Camino College from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Thursday.
Wearing special goggles that simulate intoxication, students can try to navigate a basketball course, and a steer a golf cart through a driving course.
A crashed vehicle will be on display as a reminder of the danger of DUI, and a mock DUI checkpoint will be established at the Redondo Beach Blvd exit to distribute literature as students leave campus.
The event is part of the Los Angeles County Avoid program, which is in support of the national campaign "Drunk Driving Over the Limit Under Arrest" sponsored by National Highway Transportation Safety Administration.
The Avoid the 100 West task force includes 20 law enforcement agencies in the south and west portion of the county.
