AZ Limo-solution to the cold sweats/racing heart going thru that DUI checkpoint!
My heart started racing as I saw the row of tail lights up ahead of me. Palms started sweating and butterflies started dancing around in my stomach. And I know I'm not intoxicated. Actually I haven't touched a drop of alcohol in two years!
But still I GOT NERVOUS passing through that DUI checkpoint!! I breathed a deep sigh of relief to be through it. It was my first DUI checkpoint that I've ever gone through (thank God it never happened when I was an active drinker - but that is a whole other story).
Police officers scare me - I don't want to go to jail - or even really talk to them. I'm sure they are great people - and as long as you aren't doing anything wrong - nothing will happen. But it's kinda like bees - they scare me. I don't want to be around them - I'm afraid I will be stung.
The City of Mesa handed me a Sobriety Checkpoint brochure. On it were interesting facts - of course a lot of the same DUI info I blog about as far as consequences and fines. But the info I liked was some more suggestions to how you can make the roads safer when someone you know is trying to get behind the wheel and drive after drinking:
- Offer to drive your friend home (if you haven't been drinking of course)!
- Suggest that they stay the night - it may be inconvenient but it's saving lives!
- Take their car keys away - take control of the situation!
- Call a taxi or sedan service and pay for it yourself - your friend will probably reimburse you tomorrow once they've sobered up.
- When all else fails - call the police to prevent your friend's driving. It may sound extreme - but that is how important it is to prevent somebody from getting behind the wheel - you could be saving many lives!
Of course my suggestion always it (probably because I'm part owner of a limo company) - you could always have a lot more fun if you just ordered an AZ Limo or party bus service and then you-all wouldn't have to worry about drinking and driving!!
