TEN WAYS TO AVOID A DUI ARREST THIS FATHER’S DAY WEEKEND
- Drink on an Island. Did you know they don’t allow cars on Catalina Island? They do have electric golf carts, so you may still have to be careful.
- Fly somewhere. From Burbank Airport you can get to some really great spots for about $100. Vegas and San Francisco are both only about an hour away.
- Try walking to dinner (or drinks). I’m from Los Angeles too, but I know it’s possible to walk to dinner. You might even get some exercise.
- Drink at home. Have a BBQ in the yard. Make friends with a neighbor…It’s actually pretty easy to do if you bring the drinks.
- Hire a driver. Treat your significant other to a limo or try Uber. I know this is an added expense but the minimum fine for a DUI in California is about $2,000.
- Don’t drink? Nah, moving on…
- Be the designated driver. No, this isn’t my first choice either, but we all have to take one for the team once in a while. Besides, it might pay off in other ways when you get home safely later that night.
- Take the Amtrak. Really. It’s fun. Try San Diego or Santa Barbara. Again, if you don’t have a car you can’t drink and drive.
- Go camping. Yes, really. Try it, you might like it, especially if you bring friends, and beer or friends with beer.
- Take a weekend cruise. There are some very affordable 2 or 3 day cruises out of Long Beach or San Pedro. Do you sense a “leave your car at home” theme here?
