The FHP is Obnoxious

To Whom It May Concern,

My attempt to go to the grocery store around 8:00 PM this evening was greatly delayed by your DUI checkpoint on US 41 at the Land O Lakes post office.  The checkpoint reduced the normally three northbound lanes of US 41 to one lane and was accompanied by numerous FHP vehicles and fire trucks giving the impression that a major disaster or terrorist attack was in progress and effectively blocking the entrance to my subdivision (Dupree Drive). 

I appreciate the Florida Highway Patrol's attempt to keep me safe from drunk drivers, but please choose another location next time, or at least start the operation after 10 PM when more drunk people are likely to be on the road and the rest of us are not trying to conduct our ordinary business.
