At last, the countdown to Christmas is finally winding down and the day is finally here. We all know that the Holiday season is for spreading merriment and enjoying the Holidays with family, friends and loved ones.
It is also a time that the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is in full force making sure people are driving safely and enjoying the Holiday season by abiding the law. As office Christmas parties and family potlucks take full swing it’s important to keep in mind that if you are drinking it’s best to either call a cab, designate a driver, or call a friend.

“Greetings,
Thank you for tip #1. I considered trying to renew my license, but didn’t have the courage. I wasn’t sure what was on record, and I feared being thrown out of the DPS office, or worse. Based on your tip, I now have a new legal license for a cost of only $10, plus the trip to DPS. My new license, and peace of mind, is worth much more to me than the cost of your manual.”
