I hear ya KJC1, ran into a “sobriety” check point this evening, normally I despise those things (NCSHP run check point) but the officer was clear, roll down the window, chat a bit, off you go.
He was only checking to see if
A. I was wearing the seat belt
B. Had been drinking.
Folks, a .357 mag bullet travels at 1,400 ft per second with 900 ft pds of energy or so, a Vehicle can travel 60 mph + with a ft pd of energy around 37,000 ft per second, far mroe deadly, drink if you feel like it, but do not think it is wimpy to take a cab.....

Let me add the officer was clear “and professional”
Thanks. Most and I mean 99% of drivers are friendly and even thankful we are there. The other 1% are the sour and/or guilty apples who’d be the first ones to cry, “You cops let that driver through, and three people were killed!’
The checkpoints are good, really. Most people get it. Thanks for being one of them. :)
