Alcohol and asphalt don’t mix. If you're drinking, don't get behind the wheel and take a chance on being arrested or hurting yourself or someone else. Find a sober ride.
Choose your ride. Drink. Drive. Go to jail.
LET US
find FIND YOU A RIDEWALK IT!
Walking not only burns calories, it helps you avoid getting a DWI.
But be careful. If you’ve had a bit to drink, you can still get a public intoxication charge.
TAKE PUBLIC TRANSIT!
The cool kids sit in the back of the bus, not a cop car.
SEND A TWEET!
Designate a driver in 140 characters or less.
CALL A CAB!
Taxi: $17. DWI: $17,000. Save the cash, call a cab.
RENT A LIMO!
For special occasions, designate a driver with style: rent a limo.
GO TO JAIL!
If you choose to drive after drinking, you’ll be given another ride. Directly to jail.
CATCH A PEDICAB!
Roll out with a pedal-powered ride.
THE CRACKDOWN
Texas leads the nation in drunk driving crashes and fatalities. That's why thousands of state troopers and local law officers across Texas are stepping up patrols and arresting drunk drivers.
