w00t! Beer Scooters!
Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas | WFAA.com | Local News: “This New Year’s weekend- with the Cotton Bowl and other annual festivities- bars and restaurants in North Texas will be packed.
Many will drink too much and will be tempted to drive, and hundreds of drivers will be stopped by police officers for suspected drunken driving.
Some will be charged with a crime; others will go to jail.
But designated drivers, taxis and a new service called Wingman could prevent an arrest- or a night that ends in tragedy.
The key element in Wingman’s business is a tiny moped. When the dispatcher gets a call from the service area- which includes Dallas and nearby suburbs- a moped driver travels to the caller’s location.
The foldable moped goes into the trunk of the caller’s car, who is then driven home in his or her own vehicle.”
