The Erie Police Department is sharing important tips to help prevent drunk driving ahead of New Year’s Eve celebrations.
We spoke with Lieutenant Tom Lennox, who emphasized the importance of planning transportation ahead of time. With convenient ride-sharing options like Uber and Lyft, there are no excuses for driving under the influence.
Lieutenant Lennox also urged drivers to stay alert on the roads and to be aware of law enforcement presence. There will be an increased number of officers patrolling Erie, as well as multiple DUI checkpoints throughout downtown, ensuring that everyone stays responsible this holiday season.
