A total of 13 citations were issued for violations including being an unlicensed driver, driving without a license in possession and a registered car owner allowing an unlicensed driver to operate their vehicle, Rogers said.

Two cars were impounded in relation to those citations.

More than 1,400 cars passed through the checkpoint.
