There\u2019s still plenty of summer left. That could mean more barbecues, picnics, music festivals, and outdoor patio parties \u2013 and available alcohol. But drinking too much and driving is a huge problem you want to avoid.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You don\u2019t want to have to ask us about the <\/span>cost of SR-22 insurance<\/span><\/a> or what SR-22 insurance even is. Hint: It makes your insurance very expensive and labels you a high-risk driver.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s why we\u2019re offering these alternatives to driving under the influence.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Get a Designated Driver<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Maybe the most popular member of your crowd is the one friend who hates alcohol. Or who once loved it too much and hasn\u2019t had a drop in years. Whatever the reason, you can always trust this one friend behind the wheel because their blood alcohol level is always zero.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Keep that friend. Invite them along everywhere this summer and beyond. Buy them dinner and as many non-alcoholic beverages as they want. What you spend on designated drivers almost guarantees impaired driving prevention and the summer event safety of the whole gang.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Employ Rideshare Services for Sober Transportation<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

The next best thing to a non-drinking friend is a sober stranger. Take an Uber, Lyft, or other rideshare service to get to and from your activity.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Note: Don\u2019t drive to your event planning to take an Uber if you drink too much. You\u2019ll probably think it\u2019s too big a hassle to leave your car in an unattended lot, so you\u2019ll chance the drinking and driving risks.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not quite in a state of mind to make rational decisions, you might make the wrong one. Let someone else drive you <\/span>both<\/span><\/i> ways.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Play and Stay<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

What we mean by that is to take advantage of opportunities where you can drink on-site and not drive away until at least the next day. That could mean arranging ahead of time to spend the night at your host\u2019s home when invited to their festivities. (That \u201cahead of time\u201d part is important because you don\u2019t want to learn at two a.m., as the party\u2019s winding down, that there\u2019s some reason you can\u2019t crash at your host\u2019s apartment as you assumed you could.)<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You might also \u201cplay and stay\u201d at a four-day music festival where you\u2019ve set up your overnight gear in campgrounds at the venue.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Whatever the situation, just make sure that there\u2019s no doubt that you\u2019ll be able to sleep right where you\u2019re at and not get behind the wheel of your car until the next (alcohol-free) day.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n
