In West Hollywood this Yuletide Season, Public Safety joined forces with the local Sheriff's Department to kick off a promotion to curb driving under the influence during the festive Christmas and New Year's celebrations ahead.
Cocktail napkins are being distributed in trendy watering holes around WeHo with a timely message emblazoned on their face.
"Don't Drink and Drive!"
The main purpose is to persuade revellers to take a taxi (cheaper that a DUI) or drag along a designated drive on the night locals and out-of-towners alike hit the strip for a madcap night out-on-the gay old town!
The Center for Disease Control has reported that motorists are killed every thirteen minutes in car crashes.
Non-fatal injuries occur every two minutes.
In the event a table-hopper is too blitzed to read the message, the Sheriff's Department has hammered the point home, by parking a slightly demolished SUV in front of the Station at San Vicente and Santa Monica Blvd in WeHo proper.
The Sunset Strip Business Association has hopped on the band-wagon, too.
Tipsy-tows are being offered to single drivers in need of a lift home on Christmas Day and New Year.
The rides are free including those who are non AAA Club members.
Metro Line bus services are also free on New Year's Day.
In addition, a free shuttle service will run along Santa Monica Boulevard from 8 p.m. on December 31st to 4 a.m. on January 1st (2011).
Info: 323.848.6414
Happy Holidays!
