If DUIs are a problem, they should implement No-Refusal Weekends, like Texas and other states do: https://www.nhtsa.gov/staticfiles/planners/NoRefusalWeekend/index.htm
All holidays where drinking is big (Fourth of July, Halloween, NYE, etc) should be no-refusal weekends.
But then again, in other states, cops don't unnecessarily harass citizens trying to catch them with the force of institutional power like MA, because they have nothing better to do except steal pension money

I always see it on goldstar boulevard in front of the Price Rite/Austin liquors plaza.

I'd love to see a more bicycle-friendly infrastructure like the Netherlands.
The response to the "I'm screwed if they take away my license/vehicle" is "Drive safely and they won't," and honestly I'm OK with that.

Yeap, this is very sad. For some reason everyone has a right to have a metal thing that shoots bullets, but driving another metal thing that just gets you from A to B is a privilege.

Fully agree. Transportation is a human right. This should be codified.

> It all goes back to driving being a privilege, not a right.
Very true, but the only issue with this is that American cities are built around vehicles, not pedestrians. You're screwed if you lose access to a vehicle.

Yeah, I don't know why I got downvoted, but I want to throw a lot of shit out now. I don't think our trash guys will take it though. They've been super picky.

Lot of people cutting you down but I understand where you’re coming from. It all goes back to driving being a privilege, not a right.
That very specific differentiation seems to have been forgotten.

By driving on public roads you choose to abide by certain conditions. If you don’t want to, don’t use the roads. Be a homesteader. No one has made you participate in our society

By that logic the government would be right to confiscate guns in the interest of keeping everyone safe. It’s a violation of personal liberty, I don’t want to be harassed when I’m driving sober and safely

Yeah, I really can't think of something like that in Worcester proper. Lots of stuff outside the city. I'll try the places other people have recommended.
Lola's is excellent. The Pizza Peddler (right down the street from Lola's) also does a pretty good plain NY-style cutlet and gives off the deli vibes. My office was in that area, lots of good eatin' around there!

I’m now curious as to what percentage of people detained at these checkpoints result in arrest for DWI. My guess is less than 5%

if it’s the Meineke on Webo St go to L&M tire down the street… they’ve only ever fixed what I asked, always reasonably priced.
