The holidays are fast approaching, and with them come office parties, family celebrations, and New Year’s Eve gatherings – all where alcohol is served. The penalties for driving under the influence in Georgia are steep, and the potential human costs of a DUI accident cannot be tallied.
Why risk a wreck or arrest during what should be the most joyous season of the year? In addition to Uber and Lyft, there are other safe, low-cost alternatives to driving while impaired. Whether you are attending a planned event, or are at a party and are unable to drive home safely, you can contact one of the services listed below to provide a safe, sober ride.
