As the highly anticipated Monterey Car Week 2023 approaches, the California Highway Patrol (CHP) is gearing up for another year of high-speed pursuits and DUI arrests. Last year, CHP officers on the Central Coast nabbed several high-performance car drivers en route to the prestigious event.

With Monterey Car Week 2023 set to draw thousands of car enthusiasts from around the globe, the Monterey CHP reported 20 DUI arrests and 53 crashes during the week-long celebration. Undeterred, the CHP is reinforcing its presence in an effort to curb dangerous driving and intoxicated behavior.

For those planning to attend Car Week 2023, Monterey County has thoughtfully provided an interactive map that pinpoints the daily permitted events. This valuable tool allows visitors to easily plan their itinerary and avoid potential traffic congestion.
