After a Friday night of drinks and city-fun with friends in Santa Barbara, Calif., driving back home while under the influence is a dangerous consideration. Having a designated driver or an arranged pick-up could protect drivers and passengers alike while keeping you from needing the lifesaving services of alcohol rehab centers.
For those who may not have plans to safely return home after a night out, transportation service Uber is offering a safe ride back. Uber was founded in 2009 and provides arranged trips for customers via Uber drivers who use their own cars. To make the experience quick and simple for customer’s, a quick lift or a trip to the other part of town can be scheduled with a few clicks of the Uber app.
Partnership with Mothers Against Drunk Driving
Perhaps one of the most highly celebrated holidays in America is Independence Day. While celebrating America’s independence, plenty of alcoholic drinks go around at local parties. If alcohol consumption becomes uncontrolled and abused, admittance to rehab centers could be necessary in the future.
Recognizing the potential increased danger of intoxicated driving for Americans from Santa Barbara to the East Coast, Uber partnered with Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) this past Fourth of July. Both Uber and MADD encouraged people to take a pledge to not drink and drive while providing a safe ride home for those who were intoxicated.
Additionally, Uber riders were given the opportunity to make donations to MADD. Uber’s newsroom reported the popular transportation service matched all donations made during the holiday.
Keeping the Streets Safe
Whether it’s the Fourth of July or a casual night at the local Santa Barbara bar, keeping the number of drinks consumed to a minimum will help prevent fatal car accidents. Utilizing beneficial transportation can also be the key to keeping the roads free of tragedy. However, if one’s alcohol consumption has formed into a life-threatening addiction, support can be found through rehab centers.
