Anyone who's ever met me knows how hypersensitive I am when it comes to drinking and driving. Chalk it up to friends having learned heartwrenching lessons, having read one too many stories or having seen one too many MADD billboards, or even dismiss me as paranoid. The fact remains that drinking and driving is, at its best, really risky if you're thinking about the legal battle you'll face if you have to blow into a breathylizer. At its worst, you or others could die.
But let's get a little happier, shall we? In last month's Paste, I read about this service in select cities, a service whose drivers scoot to you on scooters, pack the scooters into your trunk, and drive you home in your car. No trying to figure out how to get your car from that parking lot downtown the next morning as you're facing a huge hangover. No playing games with your fate, hoping you're just on this side of sober to be able to make it home safely.
Check this out! Considering the locations of the few people that read this, I'm pretty sure it's in a city near you.

and not to mention that the monetary fines for DUI's can lead up to $10,000 to $15,000 after having to go in for the pee-pee tests and court fees and lawyers and possible firing from your job and having it on your permanent record for any job you go to apply to. A $20 taxi is much cheaper than life and court bills.
