During the 2025 Christmas Holiday Enforcement Period, CHP officers were on duty across the state, responding not only to enforcement needs but also to significant winter weather impacts, including snow, flooding, and mudslides.
Despite challenging conditions, CHP officers conducted 5,450 enforcement actions, issued 2,744 citations, and made 297 DUI arrests to help keep California’s roadways safe. Speed remained a major safety concern, with 1,385 speeding citations issued, including 94 drivers traveling more than 100 mph.
Tragically, six fatal crashes occurred in CHP jurisdiction, resulting in eight lives lost. Speeding, impaired driving, and failure to wear seat belts continue to be leading factors in serious and fatal crashes. Seat belts save lives: every seat, every trip.
CHP urges everyone to:
• Buckle up
• Slow down, especially in adverse weather
• Drive sober and stay focused
Your safety is our mission – on clear roads and in the toughest conditions.
