Thanksgiving - Dangerous On The Road

I am sure your aware Thanksgiving is notorious for being one of the most dangerous days on the road.

I am sure your aware Thanksgiving is notorious for being one of the
most dangerous days on the road. The service MrCheckpoint helps
publicize these DUI Checkpoints, Saturation Patrols, and even
Speedtraps throughout San Diego and has over 35,000 twitter followers
and sends text message notifications.

The service is called an enabler by some who think people are avoiding

the DUI Checkpoints although local law enforcement and MADD are
supportive of promoting and publicizing the DUI Checkpoints.

The service MrCheckpoint took off after Sennett Devermont went through
a DUI Checkpoint and posted it on youtube after being illegally
detained and searched which the footage shows.

From sharing this on other channels it has brought up some controversy on whether this is enabling drunk driving or preventing it. At first thought I figured it was just helping drunk drivers avoid these checkpoints. After some research into some of the checkpoint articles I found that having DUI checkpoints does prevent people from driving drunk because they will take more preventative measures not to end up in that situation. 

What do you think?

'...MPH degree program to attend a 3-day workshop ... challenge the CNA licensure examination inRead More California.... ... Aristotle felt that by becoming licensed professionals in the U.S. shortly after their arrival to the shores of the U.S., they would have a greater opportunity to receive better clinical positions when they applied for the work-study internships that they were eligible to participate in....' the school told students that were enrolled in masters' degrees that certification as a cna was part of the road to obtaining a masters degree ?? stop right there... masters in public health is an administrative position that has nothing to do with being a cna....and i'm sure people didn't travel thousands of miles to do the grunt work in a hospital.... yea, getting a cna license is a great suggestion for an 18 year old that's going into the nursing field....but not for someone in the masters' program.... and fyi phony college.....in this country a person has to have a 4 year degree before they can apply for the masters' program....
