The Holidays are among us!

Wow, what a great response from my friends supporting this blog!   Thank you!   So let me share something a bit different...  

Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Christmas and others - including New Years are here - most include consumption of wine, beer and booze, etc... please dont drive!  

I've already received 2 calls from riders that were in a car that the driver was not "OK" to drive and went to jail...   Companies should be cognizant  of this, yes, you drank too much and parked your car in an area that will get towed at 2:30am - trust me, it's far cheaper to leave your car there and Uber/Lyft home, have it towed and avoid the DUI...  

I personally got a "wet reckless" in 1997 - I was a .07 BAC on the 55 freeway - while not a 502, it still was extremely painful, lots of money and probation - it changed my life...   Today it's 500% worse - lets break today down!

CHP parked my car in a mall lot, now it's impounded - assuming you get out the next day it's $250+ to get it out, same as if leaving it in a place you'll get towed by taking Uber/Lyft home...   They are now holding "drunks longer" so that may go up...   Add attorney fees, court costs, DMV fees, expensive Insurance fees etc. thats assuming you win the court case, the DMV will still screw you regardless...

You got a 502?   Kiss your license goodbye and prepare for about $7500 to $10k easy...   go from there...  now you cant drive and will rely on Uber/Lyft or public transportation to get to work, if you still have a job after...

Uber/Lyft can save all of this - just admit you've drank too much!   I've been known to order a ride recently just because it wasn't worth the chance to see a game at my friends house - it was $30 round trip but I didnt have to worry about my consumption - could I have made it home possibly, but is it worth it to be safe - Hell Yes!

I've had much support from police with my Uber and Lyft signs up - they know we all believe a safe ride home is the best option - and yes, I believe that a ride in my car when I'm driving for Uber/Lyft is the answer you need...

To entice a few - I'll offer a few free rides - sign up for Lyft using this link - it will grant you 5 free rides up to $10 each...    https://www.lyft.com/invited/JEFFBELMONT

Please think of those who love you, those that are loved you may hit and the fact I've made it very easy for you to get a safe ride home...  

Hope to see you in my car soon!
