DUI Tampabay: Increased Patrols fo DUI
Tampabay: Patrols to scour roads for drunks: "Patrols to scour roads for drunks - Law enforcement officials want partygoers to remember that impaired driving starts at one beer.
TAMPA - Whether New Year's Eve imbibing has you seeing double or just a little blurry, getting behind the wheel of a car is not a good plan. 'A lot of people have the misconception, 'I've only had a couple beers, I'm okay to drive,' said Florida Highway Patrol spokesman Larry Coggins. 'Two beers is too many.' Coggins said patrol cars will be on the road in full force tonight. The Florida Sheriff's Association, the Florida Police Chief's Association and the FHP are banding together for 'Operation Lights for Life,' a statewide effort to keep drunken drivers off the road and remember those killed in alcohol-related accidents."
