THP Announces Driver License Safety Checkpoints

  The Tennessee Highway Patrol will be conducting driver license roadside safety checkpoints during the week of April 12 at mile marker 22 on State Route 242.

  Recognizing the danger presented to the public by unqualified drivers, Troopers will concentrate their efforts on vehicles being operated by drivers who would violate the driver license laws of Tennessee.

  The Tennessee Highway Patrol has found these driver license roadside safety checkpoints to be an effective means of enforcing driver license laws of Tennessee while ensuring the protection of all motorists.
