Please don't drink and drive tonight! (better yet, don't drive at all!)
Over the last 5 years I have lost 3 people to drunk driving accidents on this exact day (damn St Patrick's day). Cops are out in FULL FORCE, so please dont drink and drive. There will be a lot of drunks out tonight so better to just avoid the roads all together.
Speed safely!

Better make it a bit more than $20 depending on where you live! Last cab ride from SF to San Carlos was almost $100!! Of course it was well worth it. Sucks when you miss the last train tho!! I wish Caltrain would run a "cleanup" train around 3am or something.

it was pretty bad when i was driving home from work. I saw 3 people pulled over and 4 obvious drunk drivers. What makes it worse is my commute is 10 miles at the most.
