Score Free Rides Home On July 4 (REALLY!): Lyft Promo Code For Coachella Valley Offered By Walter Clark Legal Group

The legal group is again sponsoring a "free ride home" program to keep people from driving drunk -- but this time, there's a new twist.

COACHELLA VALLEY, CA – Fourth of July revelers in the Coachella Valley have no reason to even think about getting behind the wheel after drinking. Walter Clark Legal Group is again sponsoring a "free ride home" program in the region, and all you need to do is utilize a popular smartphone application.

The group has a long-running tradition of sponsoring free rides for those who may have partied a little too hard on big holidays like the Fourth of July and Superbowl Sunday. Until now, they've used only local cab companies. This effort will work with any Lyft driver in the area.

"It is the latest evolution of the personal injury law firm’s ongoing efforts against drunk driving during the holidays when the likelihood of impaired drivers on the road is highest," Walter Clark Legal Group said in a news release.

"I have and just about everybody I know has at some time driven when they shouldn't, and the reason that happens is that after you have a drink, you think you're fine. That's the effect of impairment," said Walter Clark, founder of Walter Clark Legal Group. "If you see somebody who doesn’t look like they should be driving, we’ll pay for the ride."

Bar and restaurant employees or concerned friends wanting to get someone home safely can also utilize the promotion on the holiday.
