If you need further encouragement to use our Safe Ride Home, the Tennessee Highway Patrol and most local law enforcement increase enforcement with additional officers and sobriety checkpoints on New Year’s Eve. In Tennessee, a BAC of .08 is considered under the influence. Even if you do not cause an accident, if you are caught driving under the influence, you can expect the penalties to be stiff. In addition to jail time, there will be fines and legal fees. Once your driving privileges are restored, you can expect your car insurance to rise by approximately 75%. In total, most experts agree a DUI will cost you roughly $10,000.00.

At the Law Offices of John Day, we want everyone to enjoy the New Year’s Eve holiday. But, we want you to do it safely. “Be smart. stay safe. Protect yourself and those around you by taking advantage of our contribution to your safe ride home on New Year’s Eve.
