You can expect sobriety checkpoints put on by the Massachusetts State Police to be all over the commonwealth this holiday season. Where will they be? They normally pick a county and and a weekend and stop random drivers.

If you get stopped in Massachusetts, remember you must roll your window down enough to communicate effectively.

• DO turn off your engine and roll down your window. If you wish, you can keep the window just low enough to talk through until you’re comfortable that this is a legitimate officer, then roll it down all the way.
• ALWAYS keep your hands on the wheel and clearly visible to the officer. -mamunsonlaw.com
