Drive Sober in Tennessee

These checkpoints are shared for public safety and impaired-driving awareness. They are not intended to help drivers avoid, bypass, or evade DUI checkpoints.

If you drink, don’t drive. Plan your ride before drinking by choosing a sober driver, taxi, rideshare, or another safe transportation option.

Never drive impaired. Your safety and the safety of everyone on the road come first.

What to Do If You Plan to Drink Tonight

The safest plan is simple: don’t drive after drinking.

If you know you’ll be drinking, arrange your transportation before you start:

  • Choose a designated sober driver.
  • Use a taxi or rideshare service.
  • Take public transportation when available.
  • Ask a sober friend or family member for a ride.
  • Stay where you are until you are completely safe to drive.
  • If you are hosting, help your guests find a safe way home.

Do not rely on feeling “okay” to decide whether you’re safe to drive. Alcohol and other impairing substances can affect judgment, reaction time, coordination, and decision-making.

DUI Checkpoints Are About Road Safety

DUI checkpoints and impaired-driving enforcement operations are intended to deter and identify impaired drivers and help keep roads safer. This page is not intended to help anyone evade law enforcement or find a way around a checkpoint.

If you encounter a checkpoint, follow posted traffic instructions and lawful directions from officers. Never make an unsafe maneuver or sudden turn simply because you see an enforcement operation.

If you are sober, licensed, and driving legally, the best approach is simply to drive responsibly and follow the rules of the road.

Important Information About Tonight’s Checkpoints

Checkpoint schedules and enforcement plans can change. Some agencies announce only a general area, while others keep the specific checkpoint location undisclosed.

The information published here is provided for public safety awareness and responsible transportation planning. Readers should verify important details with the relevant law enforcement agency or official announcement when available.

DUI Checkpoints Finder is an independent information website and is not a police department, government agency, or law-enforcement organization.

Don’t Drink and Drive

A DUI can have serious consequences, including arrest, injuries, property damage, financial costs, license consequences, and potentially life-changing harm to you or someone else.

If you’ve been drinking tonight, don’t take the chance. Don’t drive.

Get a taxi. Call a rideshare. Find a sober driver. Stay where you are.

One safe decision can prevent a tragedy.

DUI Checkpoint Safety Reminder

Don’t drink and drive.
Don’t drive impaired.
Don’t encourage someone else to drive impaired.
Plan a safe ride home before you drink.
