DUI and OWI Holiday Enforcement

Starting the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and continuing into the New Year you can expect to see more police officers patrolling the streets on the look out for potential drunk drivers. As always, Michigan law enforcement begins it's "Red Ribbon Campaign" to increase awareness about drinking and driving over the holidays. The day before Thanksgiving is traditionally one of the biggest party nights of the year and the police know it. Many people will stop for a drink after work to begin the Holiday Season and rather than find themselves enjoying a turkey dinner with their family, they are calling from jail hoping to get home before the pumpkin pie is gone. Don't let this happen to you. A little advance planning and good judgment will go a long way to prevent a holiday good time from turning into and holiday nightmare. If you will be drinking at the bar with co-workers or at holiday parties, please consider having a designated driver. Or plan to have a cab or ride service handle the driving if you know you will be drinking. Although it may be a hassle and will cost a little money, it is a lot cheaper in the long run to pay for the ride now than to pay for a DUI or OWI lawyer later.
