Many will celebrate the luck of the Irish this weekend with early St. Patrick's Day celebrations. But your luck could run out if you choose to drink and drive.

Law enforcement is stepping up DUI patrols to keep our roads safe. They will have checkpoints set up throughout Southern Colorado. The extra patrols will start on Friday, March 12 and last until Thursday, March 18.

From 7p.m. on March 17 until 3a.m. on March 18, 2010, the McDivitt Law Firm is offering free cab rides to get home safely through Yellow Cab at 719-777-7777.
