As if motorcycles aren't annoying enough
If you think it will be easy to successfully avoid any DUI checkpoint in San Francisco this
Cinco de Mayo, well, you are wrong. Police have informed us that on Friday, they will be deploying
roving cops on motorcycles to go after drunk drivers on the road.
Capt. Denis O'Leary explains the logic behind the motorcycles.
"Our Harley Davidson Road Kings have a lot of maneuverability advantages over regular patrol cars," he said. "We can ride right up to the driver's window and check for any signs of alcohol or drug impairment."
"There are a lot of motorcycles on the road, and you would be amazed at
how many people do not notice us until they hear the sirens," he added.
The motorcycle gang will rev up at 7 p.m. on Friday and continue through 3 a.m. on Saturday.
