The Dangers of Drinking and Driving

I would like to share a personal experience I had about drinking and driving.
This might save you the cost and embarrassment of being arrested for DUI.
As you know, people have been known to have unexpected brushes with the authorities from time to time,
often on the way home after a "social session" with family or friends.
Well recently, it happened to me.
I was out for the night to a party and had more than several margaritas coupled with a bottle of rather lovely red wine.
It was held at a great Italian restaurant. Although relaxed,
I still had the common sense to know I was slightly over the limit.
That's when I did something I've never done before... I took a taxi home.
On the way home there was a police roadblock, but since it was a taxi they waved it past
and I arrived home safely without incident.
These roadblocks can be anywhere and I realized how lucky I was to have chosen to take a taxi.
The real surprise to me was that I had never driven a taxi before.
Not sure where I got it, and now that it's in my garage I don't know what to do with it.
If you want to borrow it, give me a call.
