DUI Most New Year's Eve Revelers Stayed Off Roads, Officials Say

Most New Year's Eve Revelers Stayed Off Roads, Officials Say: "Law enforcement officers think they found a way to keep people from starting off 2006 with a drunken-driving arrest. Officials focused on putting more officers on the streets and making the public more aware of their presence on New Year's Eve. Those two factors can make revelers think twice before getting behind the wheel after a night of drinking, Pinellas County sheriff's spokesman Sgt. Jim Bordner said, making New Year's Eve drunken-driving incidences relatively low and resulting in no alcohol-related traffic fatalities in the Bay area."
