I watched a news vid on MSNBC about this company. Drinkers who have had too much can call up Zingo that then sends out a scooter rider to drive home the partiers. The rider is using a folding motorbike made in Italy called a Di Blasi. The motorbike folds up and is placed in the trunk.

According to the MSNBC story, the founder of Zingo is man who a few years ago drank too much one-day and then while driving drunk killed his best friend.

There was a Top Gear episode about either this company or a similar one.
