According to a release sent by the SFPD, motorcycle cops will be doing “extra patrols” on Tuesday as part of that whole holiday drunk driving thing

Why motorcycle cops (besides ’cause they’re sexy)? SFPD Sergeant Neil Swendsen says that “Motorcycles are a lot more mobile and we can get closer to the vehicle to see if a driver is exhibiting signs of impairment.”

Of course, you shouldn’t drive drunk, ever (who does not know this?), but tomorrow’s a good day to be extra careful and Muni or cab it if you’re planning on a drink or two.
