Two things you can count on when it comes to New Year's Eve: Champagne or other sparkling wine, and law officers on patrol.

State troopers and local law enforcement have extra patrols on highways and streets this New Year's Eve.

Motorists can count on several D.U.I. checkpoints in the Oklahoma City metro area, and also on roadways in both communities and rural areas throughout the state.

Authorities are looking for careless drivers, seat belt violations and other infractions.

Law officers advise those planning to drink alcohol on New Year's Eve to have a designated driver or take a taxi cab.

AAA Oklahoma is also offering its free 'Tipsy Tow' service. It's available to both AAA members and non-members. AAA Oklahoma will provide a free tow and free ride home, within a 15-mile radius from the point of pickup, for the vehicle and up to two people.

The 'Tipsy Tow' service is available in Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Shawnee, Muskogee, Enid, Bartlesville, and Lawton. It runs until 2 a.m. Wednesday, January 2, 2013.
