Four years ago today, we lost our @NYPDHighway Unit 3 brother, P.O. Anastasios Tsakos, after he was struck and killed by a drunk driver while directing traffic on the Long Island Expressway. A beloved father, husband and colleague, P.O. Tsakos was taken from us far too soon. May he continue to rest in peace. #FidelisAdMortem

- Hail a taxi
- Use public transportation
- Designate a sober driver
