Local Law Firm Will Provide "Safe and Sober Free Cab Ride Home" in Colorado Springs
Colorado Springs, Colo. (PRWEB) December 21, 2007 --- Whether it's hosting a party at home or joining a group of friends at a favorite bar, many people have begun making special plans to ring in the new year. While these plans differ, they most likely will have one common factor--drinking alcohol. As a result, Colorado Springs-based McDivitt Law Firm (www.McDivittLaw.com) is providing free cab rides home for anyone who has been drinking or who doesn't feel he or she has a safe way home this New Year's weekend.
"Thinking that one or two drinks while celebrating New Year's Eve won't impair your driving is a dangerous mistake," said Michael McDivitt, founder of McDivitt Law Firm. "Unfortunately, many people misjudge their sobriety and end up hurting themselves and others on the road. Driving drunk is a selfish decision--one that takes lives. With that in mind, we are offering a safe road home in the hopes of preventing drunk-driving injuries."
McDivitt Law Firm will team up with Yellow Cab Company of Colorado Springs to provide free transportation this New Year's holiday weekend. The law firm's Safe and Sober Free Cab Ride Home program will be available in the city of Colorado Springs from 10 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 31, 2007, through 3 a.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2008.
To request a free cab ride home, individuals can call Yellow Cab Company of Colorado Springs at (719) 777-7777 and tell them McDivitt Law Firm is paying for their safe ride home. Cab rides are made available to area residents who otherwise might attempt to drive home after drinking. Rides are provided to an individual's residence--not to other drinking locations.
