Revelers should take note of a new law dealing with drunk driving. According to Virginia law, that standard applies to anyone who measures .08 or higher on the breath test. More than 4,000 drivers lost their licenses, at least temporarily, during the first year this law was on the books. If you've been drinking, ride with a friend or call a cab.

Let Someone Else Do The Driving To avoid traffic trauma, you can always put someone else behind the wheel. A call to 623-RIDE can get you the complete schedule and pickup points. If charm, not speed, is your fancy, get a ticket to ride on one of TRT's summertime trolleys. Full information and trolley tokens are available at TRT booths at The Waterside in Norfolk, at Portside in Portsmouth or at 24th Street and Atlantic Avenue in Virginia Beach. Water is the defining feature of our geography, and our transportation system reflects that.
