Safe & Responsible DrivingStandalone practice
Four friends drive together to a concert where alcohol is sold. Which friend would be a proper designated driver?
Correct answer: Sam, who will drink no alcohol and use no cannabis all evening
Why
Friends who go out together often can take turns as the designated driver, so each person gets a turn to stay sober. A designated driver who drinks even a little is no longer a safe choice, because alcohol affects driving from the first drink. If no one in the group will stay sober, stay overnight or use a cab, a ride-share service or public transit instead.
