While you’re making News Year’s resolutions and may have had a little too many of your best friend’s jello shots, remember to always drive safety and to never drive drunk.

“There are numerous options available whether it be a taxi, Uber or a sober friend or family member,” said Deputy Josh Dubin with the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station. “Always use a sober driver.”

New Years Eve is one of the biggest drinking holidays of the year and with that comes drunk driving.

The AAA Foundation took a look into how many people were killed annually in drunk driving-related incidents and found that New Year’s Day had the highest number of deaths in one day, according to a CNN report.

“New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day are our busiest days of the year,” said Inessa Chavez, vice president of All American Bail Bonds in Santa Clarita. “We are planning to have agents ready to bail out your loved ones.”

From 2005-2009, an average of 130 people were killed each year on New Year’s Day, according to the CNN report. New Year’s Day is the most deadly day to be a pedestrian. A 2005 article found that 58 percent of pedestrians killed had alcohol in their system.

“We want everyone in our community to be safe this holiday season,” Chavez said. “Everyone should be able to enjoy the holiday and not have to worry about being injured or even killed because of a drunk driver.”

While there are numerous services to prevent people from driving drunk, officials warn that the fees for service such as Uber will likely skyrocket.

Uber officials are expecting to service 2 million riders worldwide on New Year’s Eve alone, according to a CNN Money report. An Uber spokeswoman said New Year’s Eve 2014 was one of the company’s busiest days.

“The best thing to do is to know your limit and designate a sober driver,” Chavez said. “You’re loved ones will probably more than happy to pick you up from a party instead of finding you in a hospital.”
