Abstract	This article discusses how sobriety checkpoints could be more effective. The findings of an Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) study in North Carolina that investigated who's caught more often and who's more likely to be missed at sobriety checkpoints are discussed, along with the findings of a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) sponsored study of sobriety checkpoints in Tennessee.
