Zero alcohol? Level of alcohol is defined by law for DUI and it's not zero. For new drivers 0.02% and for drivers of five years or more 0.05%. Just enforce the law.

Never seen a police team prevent an accident yet, just the clean-up afterwards.

Does this mean they will 'Serve and Protect' during the holiday?  If so it will make a change from the rest of the year.
