Do you have some big plans to ring in the New Year tonight? Celebrating New Year’s Eve with friends and family can be a lot of fun, but the night can turn sour if you are pulled over after a few cocktails. If you think you’re a good enough driver to fool cops, think again. The Minnesota State Patrol will have extra units on the roads tonight in search of tipsy drivers.
Finalizing your New Year’s Eve plans? Make sure they include a sober ride. Extra DWI enforcement out now. #MNDWIs http://t.co/Zupt7m3Dug

A DUI can set you back thousands of dollars, cost you your job, and put a strain on your close relationships. New Year’s Eve if often one of our busiest nights for DUI offenses, but we hope you make the right decision tonight. To make the decision a little easier, we’re helping to foot some of the bill for your ride home tonight.
Uber Deal
We’re excited to announce that we’re partnering with Uber to get you home safe tonight, and with a little extra cash in your wallet. Uber is a smartphone app that connects you with a driver at the tap of a button. Got a large group of people? No problem, Uber can send an SUV or van. Want to ride in style? Uber can send a black car.
Another nice thing about Uber is that you can track the arrival of your ride on your smartphone so you can stay inside until the last minute, which will be especially nice with tonight’s cold forecast. You can also pay for the ride right on your smartphone, so there’s no need to worry if you’re low on cash.
Here’s where we come in. To save $5 on your ride tonight, simply download the Uber app and enter the promo code APPELMANDUI. Just be sure to order your ride between the hours of 8pm and 2am to take advantage of this deal! Lastly, as much as we’d like to help everyone around the state get home safe tonight, the Uber deal is only valid in Minneapolis.
Have a great New Year’s Eve, and remember to plan ahead for your ride home. Nobody plans on getting a DUI, but you can plan ahead to prevent one.
