Alternatives to Getting Behind the Wheel Impaired

4. Keys to Us or other professional designated driving services 

These services get you and your car home. They eliminate the excuse of having to leave your car behind. While they may cost money they ensure safe arrival. If you choose to get behind the wheel you risk getting a ticket, so what are you really saving? Its easy to forget the value of life and yours and others are certainly worth much more than these services would cost.

3. Public Transit 

Public transit is another safe way to get yourself home. The GO train, a city bus, street car, sub way etc are always a safer option than getting behind the wheel. This may not always be accessible so if you plan to use this as your way home make sure to double check schedules. If one form of transportation can only get you part of the way home either combine it with another form or one of your other options. For example have a friend come pick you up for the train station or call a taxi from there. some nights, for example New Years Eve, public transit is free and runs extended schedules. 

THERE IS ALWAYS A SAFER OPTION TO IMPAIRED DRIVING. BE INFORMED AND MAKE A WISE CHOICE.

2. Take a Taxi

A taxi is easy to call. If you aren't sure of a taxi company in your area just dial #TAXI and you will be able to find one. You may have to pay a little, but when split 4 ways its not that much. 

Im sure your life is worth more than $20 so, make a logical decision.   DON"T DRINK AND DRIVE

Alternatives to Getting Behind the Wheel Impaired

1. have a designated driver

When going out with a group of friends, have one person volunteer to 'take one for the team' and refrain from alcohol or drug consumption for the evening. If no one wants to volunteer- make a list and rotate through the names, this way everyone takes their turn. 

What's more important a drunk night or your lives?

Stay sober, and make it home safely, it is just one night but could be many lives.
