DWI, mobile emergency numbers

I came across an article on how New Mexico is setting up a #DWI cell number so people can call in drunk drivers.

I like the idea, so I wrote FHP and asked them if they had something similar in the works.

They don't - write your state representative and senator, and Charlie, too! - but they sent along a couple of useful links.

Florida has *FHP (*347).

There's also a national list of mobile emergency numbers.

Now, if only they'd actually permanently take away licenses, at least on the second conviction. If nothing else, you'd have a growing group of people keenly interested in improving mass transportation...
