Law enforcement agencies participating in the regional Avoid campaign will continue to patrol Bay Area streets and freeways to apprehend drunken drivers through New Year’s Day.
Since the beginning of the campaign on Dec. 12 through Dec. 27, officers representing 125 law enforcement agencies have arrested 1,871 individuals for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Three fatalities attributed to an impaired driver were reported in that same period.
Last year, the campaign yielded 3,360 DUI arrests and three fatalities.

Caltrain, VTA, and Samtrans are all giving free rides on public transit on New Years Eve night. You have no excuse for driving drunk.

I completely agree with Greg K. NO EXCUSES, save lives, take a bus
Here’s a better one for the drinkers that get to shatered stay home, That way your sure to be safe!
Are the taxi companies also offering free rides again? I also believe in designated drivers. I am not worried about my drinking, I don’t drink much and when I do I don’t drive, simple as that. But I am worried, for my kids sake, about others that drink and then choose to drive. I also worry about their families, because getting caught is a severe financial it.I heard somewhere that getting caught the first time, by the time you add up all the costs, comes to about $10K. I owuld rather spend that money on my kids and their security, not waste it so stupidly.
If you drive drunk, you are lucky to pay $10K. If you crash your car, the medical expenses for you and anyone you hurt could easily be 10 or 100 times higher, if you live.
