Las Vegas DUI Attorney Predicts a Decrease in DUI Offenses Following Uber & Lyft Approval

    LAS VEGAS, NV, September 25, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- On 14th of September Nevada Transportation Authority permitted ridesharing companies, Uber & Lyft to operate in the state of Nevada.

Following a previous launch and subsequent shutdown of their services, it has been a hard-fought victory for the rapidly expanding Uber, who can now operate freely throughout Las Vegas, excluding McCarran airport.

Uber with a market valuation of $50 Billion has not only been effective in helping people get from A to B in an efficient and affordable manner, statistics show that it has also helped reduced DUI offenses in many cities around the world. In 2014, LA Weekly reported a 14% reduction in the number of DUI offenses committed in Los Angeles County.

Las Vegas DUI attorney Kris Milicevic, founder of Milicevic & Associates LLC, expects the number of DUI offenses in Las Vegas to also decrease following the approval of ride sharing in Nevada. "Los Angeles County has seen a significant reduction in the number of DUI arrests" said Milicevic.

Many people prefer the ride sharing services over traditional taxi's as both the cost and convenience is superior. "I expect to see a significant reduction of DUI arrests in Las Vegas following Uber's approval to operate," said Milicevic.

"If ride sharing can reduce the temptation for people to drive while under the influence of alcohol, these companies should be welcomed by the public and the city of Las Vegas" said Milicevic.
