Go out and ring in the New
Year with some great live Blues. But DO NOT drink and drive – it’s just not
worth the risk, whether that be a ticket or arrest. Or worse, injury or death of
yourself and/or someone else.
New Year's Eve weekend is a no-refusal weekend, meaning that
if DPD pull you over and you refuse a breathalyzer, officers can quickly get a warrant to
draw blood.
There are cabs and a designated driver friend. Also ride-share
programs like LYFT and UBER. (Download the application in advance onto your
phone if you plan to use one of these and make sure your phone is charged up
before you go out.)
Here’s some other ideas how you can get a safe ride home on New Year’s
Eve/Day:
