So I will reiterate my Christmas warnings about drunk driving today because New Year's Eve crashes involving drunk drivers are even more prevalent than around the Christmas holiday.

I wanted to tell everyone about AAA Tipsy Tow service, which I found out about on Facebook, but I called AAA to make sure it was offered before I praised the free towing and driving service for everyone (not just AAA members) only to find out the service is not available in North or South Carolina.

Therefore, I will simply list the names and numbers of several Rocky Mount taxi services in hopes that you take advantage of their rides:  Rocky Mount Cab at 308 Tarboro St can be reached at 977-9706 or at 702 Myrtle Ave. can be called at 985-1200. United Cab Co at 226 Falls Road is available at 442-4141.

Also, for those looking for a place to party with a free ride home, Gator's Sports Pub is offering free rides home for patrons within the city limits after the champagne toast at midnight.

Now I hope everyone has a joyous New Year's Eve and starts 2012 right with either a designated driver or utilizing one of the above services.
