Proposed Safe Ride Program to Avoid Drinking and Driving| Fort Collins Car Accident Lawyer
Posted on Dec 7th, 2011 
Drinking and driving has the potential to cause numerous devastating vehicle accidents. These accidents are even more tragic because they could have been avoided by designating a sober driver before even going out. According to CBS News, the city of Fort Collins is considering a new strategy when it comes to drinking and driving. Fort Collins is a college town that is proposing a “safe ride program” to students that have been drinking. This program would be available to anyone requiring a ride home after drinking on the weekends between the hours of 11:30pm-2:30am. Buses would run late and would only charge a dollar fare. The city is hoping this program would reduce traffic collisions and serious injuries due to drinking and driving accidents.
