Bernalillo County To Try Innovative Anti-DWI Campaign

A new way of looking to prevent DWI?

This Thanksgiving Eve, Bernalillo County residents will be able to call for free cab rides TO their favorite bar or club, in addition to getting a free ride home.  The county's news release is available here:

It is an interesting idea. It seems that the idea is that persons who drink may be reluctant to leave their vehicles at bars overnight so they would rather chance a DWI or crash.  As the news release notes, we have made some huge strides in DWI prevention in Bernalillo County, but we are far from perfect. 

Whatever your holiday plans, please plan to have a safe one and choose not to drink and drive.  Now you can even call a cab both ways.
