CONSEQUENCES

So what happens if you’re arrested for driving impaired?

Your Driver’s License is revoked for one year if you’re arrested for driving under the influence of an intoxicant, longer if you have prior law enforcement contacts.

If you’re subsequently convicted, you may face fees for an alcohol assessment, a fine, community service, jail, or even a combination of these sentences.

Why take a chance with your life or your driver’s license when you don’t have to? Call us the next time you need a ride home.

Passengers who damage or soil the taxi will be responsible for the cost of repairs and/or OSHA compliant cleaning.
