Tonight in Mclean they will have a DWI Checkpoint. Post you guesses for
Number of people stopped
Number of DWI/DUU
Number of other MISC charges - everything from seat belt violations to outstanding warrants
Whoever is closest to the actual results without going over on any one of the three categories wins.
Please post realistic guesses. Do not answer redicousely low numbers in hopes of winning. We will modify the rules after this one for the next DWI Checkpoint after we see how this one works.

And here I thought by the thread title this was a place for Fairfax Underground's finest drunkards and lushes to post their DWI arrest statistics in one place. I'd wager there are a TON of drunks on this site.

Mcleans hot spots seem to be rt 7 eastbound before the beltway. Or Rt 29 by Gallows rd(in front of the Home Depot). Sometimes I have seen them hit up rt 50 too. No way they will be on rt 123..
check the old checkpoint results.
# of people stopped: 689
Number of DWI/DUI: 2
Number of other MISC charges: 16

Gallows Rd and 29 Home Depot is McLean? Merrifield, I believe.
Where does Rt 50 intersect McLean?
Isnt thier some type of police baracks near 123 and Great Falls Road

Yeah, I always thought the McLean substation covered that area, it's all sorta considered the "tysons area", at least down to Dunn Loring/Gallows/29.
It's pretty ridiculous if they put these DUI stops up along 7 or 123.

I'll go with:
425 cars screened
1 DWI
11 Other "Misc" Charges.
Didnt have time to check the vegas "over-under" spread...

Averaging out the guesses, the results should look something like this:
# of people inconvenienced- 468
# of DWI/DUI areests- 1
Misc. Charges- 13

Fairfax County police officers from around the county conducted a sobriety checkpoint to deter and apprehend intoxicated drivers on Friday, September 19 from midnight until 3 a.m. Saturday. All motorists were stopped and drivers were checked to assure that their abilities to drive had not been impaired by alcohol or drugs.
Approximately 528 motorists were stopped on Arlington Boulevard near the intersection of Gatehouse Road. One arrest was made for DWI. Four traffic summonses were issued for miscellaneous traffic offenses.

I bet the odds are greater for one of the 528 cars to get in a accident then the one DUI.

Wht do you think of mofifying the rules for next time?
How about each participant ADDS the number of cars stopped, DUI/DWIs, and the number of other violations together and submit ONE NUMBER - 528 for example. Whoever is closest the actual results wins?
Can we have wagering Cary? Can you or Gravis hold the money?

No fair rigging the numbers\betting.
Getting a DWI at the stop to increase the numbers will automatically disqualify anybody.

Well judge, Im in a bet with the good people at fairfaxunderground.com. and the money I win from rigging the bet by getting charged with DUI will cover my court costs and fines.
