A Safe Ride is a must when you have been drinking

This is how drunk driving could end up becoming a nightmare.

For instance; you are at the bar, just in the mood to have a couple of good celebratory beers. You look around and everyone is drinking too. You’re getting a little tipsy and you’re thinking “That’s right man, I am not going to stop drinking!” After chugging down another few beers, you end up all quiet and silent thinking exactly how on earth you are going to drive home. Everything seems to be moving fast and you can barely walk. Your friends tell you to stay, but you are adamant on driving home yourself in your own vehicle.

Now is the part where you drive. You back up and BAAAAM! There goes the head light of the car parked behind you. You panic and start speeding down the block. You keep thinking just to stay awake and all of a sudden out of nowhere you see a car heading for you, you forgot to turn the headlights on and before you can do anything, you slam into the on coming vehicle. You panic even more and start speeding, there are cops on your tail and there comes a point where you get caught. And now you are officially a drunk driver!

How To Avoid This?

We understand and know the psychological effects behind drunk driving. Alcohol is notorious to impair your senses and your motor skills. When people do tell you to take a cab/ride when you are intoxicated, you tend to be aggressive and because your senses are impaired you feel like you can do absolutely anything.

We realized that the rising toll in drunk driving incidents needed to be taken care of and it would have been possible earlier if someone created a more realistic approach. It is not just about preventing bad things from happening; it is about preventing the worst. In the United States, there are countless people dying or even getting handicapped for life due to drunk driving, the sad part is a lot of them are children seated next to drunk parents or in other car involved in the accident.

At SafeRides.org we work tirelessly to solve this problem of drunk or distracted driving and to make our service an attractive, fun, convenient and  affordable option for our customers rather than driving home themselves when they are drunk.

Getting Driven in an Affordable Limo, Van, Party bus or Shuttle bus is just a lot more fun!

A good party is always irresistible. Arriving in a safe, fun and Affordable Limo, Party bus or even a Van or Shuttle bus makes it even more appealing. Why won’t it be? Usually at the Party there’s plenty of food, many friends, and almost always there is alcohol! As appealing as it may sound, drinking to a certain extent in parties is always fun, but driving while you are drunk can result in horrific consequences.

The actions of drunk drivers can lead to a number of accidents in different ways.

First of all, it is commonly known that drunk drivers display aggressive and confrontational behavior, especially behind the wheel. That is because their ability to judge speed and distance is impaired. This results in hazardous driving behaviors such as over speeding, failure to use turn signals, failure to realize how distant or close the other car is, and poor visibility results in failure to see pedestrians. Not only this, there are other countless ways in which drunk driving can result in horrific consequences.

One of the largest reasons for drunk driving is the failure to realize the intensity of your impairment, after getting highly intoxicated. Alcohol slows your reflexes and fools you into believing you are still good to drive.

Let’s take a look at some statistics that are bound to stop you from driving drunk:

  • Every 90 seconds, a person is injured in a drunken driving accident or crash

  • Drunk driving costs each adult in the United States almost $500 per year on DUI’s

  • An average drunk driver has driven drunk almost 80 times before their first arrest

  • The rate of drunk driving is the highest between 21 and 25 year old people

  • Each day almost 28 people die in America as a result of drunk driving car accidents

  • In 2011, an estimated 226 children were killed in drunk driving incidents, out of which 122 were in the car with the drunk driver

  • About one-third of all drunk drivers arrested are repeat offenders

It is always advisable to at least let the alcohol wear off before you get behind the wheel, and according to a scientific study neither strong coffee nor a cold shower can wear off the effects of alcohol, only time can.

Another even more important thing to keep in mind is all the texting between friends that goes on while driving to the parties. One way to avoid accidents caused by impaired or distracted driving is to get driven by a safe professional driver in a properly licensed insured and inspected sedan, van, limo, party bus which gives people the freedom to enjoy their night out without having to worry about driving. However to get people from not driving themselves the alternatives have to be extremely appealing.  A Safe Ride is effective when it is affordable, provided in a clean vehicle and of course it has to be a fun ride.  By using a Safe Ride your party starts when you step into the vehicle and ends when you are delivered back home safely

Remember, it is better to be careful than being regretful later.

Make Roads Safer With Professional Drivers; Not Vigilantes

Professional Drivers Should Not become vigilantes and Take The Law In their Own Hands!

So this past weekend we went to see a movie “The Equalizer 2”.  Not only were we shocked, we were also terrified.  What If every driver thought that their job is not only to provide a safe ride but also to be someone who can take the law in their own hands, regardless of the intentions.  The way this movie glamorized its main character as a Lyft driver who takes the law into his own hands; sends a completely wrong message.  What if drivers really start thinking it’s ok to be like the main character of the movie?

SafeRides.org uses the newly released movie ‘The Equalizer 2’ to educate drivers.

As in most vigilante ordeals, one has to make decisions based on life or death. ‘The Equalizer 2’ film features Robert McCall as a Lyft driver in Boston. He is a vigilante driver who rescues people, although unable to maintain the plot from crashing. In a montage, you can see some riders are using Robert’s services to move around the state. In one of the scenes, a battered lady who is deposited into his car by a group of partying men. Robert takes the injured lady to the hospital and goes back to exact justice. All of the men behind the ordeal are incapacitated apart from one, who gets a demand from the driver to give him a five-star rating on Lyft.

The driver’s character brings tension. The film portrays a violent and a tension-filled journey. As you watch the movie, you will experience a thrilling struggle due to McCall’s speeding Lyft, a ride-sharing vehicle. On the other hand, most understand his moral code and efficiency at helping the helpless but taking the law in his own hands and dispensing justice does not make sense. He is a vigilante, however good; he operates outside the law. This same scenario is similar to fictional superheroes, but in this case, we have a real person (Robert McCall) executing it. From this film, you will realize choices have consequences. If the ride-sharing driver makes terrible choices that harm people, he will face retributive justice. You can tell he gets no joy out of dispensing what he feels is right. Robert McCall is brave and unflinching in his determination to see that
justice is served for the oppressed and exploited, but how deep will he get himself for his loved ones?

Real Life Vigilante Cases in Ride-sharing Vehicles

If you are in Sydney, Australia and happen to request for an Uber at night, you might be picked up by a Batman driver. Syed Yaquob is a vigilante, superhero and Uber driver who dresses like Batman. He explains that the reason behind the Batman theme is to ensure his riders get home safe and protect them from the Joker, Bane and everyone else. He says no else can protect them expect Batman because the police lack the resources. Syed’s Bat-mobile of choice is a black Mitsubishi Lancer features LED-lit doors with a symbol of the bat. On the roof, the car has a Batman projection, Batman
stickers and playing tunes from Batman film soundtracks. Many times his costume has caused concern, and most people freak out.

SafeRides.org’s Take on Vigilante Drivers

SafeRides strongly disagrees with the theme of the film; ‘The Equalizer 2’ and any other form of incitement, which may promote vigilante behavior to ride-sharing drivers, passengers or citizens all over the world. There is a very fine line between being a vigilante and being a criminal. At some point, vigilantes are known to go bad and turn out to prey on the very people they claim to protect. While people endorse the work of vigilante drivers, claiming that their actions serve as a solution to promote social justice and ensure punishment for culprits of questionable behavior. It doesn’t matter your stance on the issue; SafeRides advises all drivers to bear in mind the consequences in their quest for justice. The non-profit makes sure drivers understand that the safety of their customers is the most important thing. In the process of dispensing justice, you might go to the extent of harassing, possibly injuring the wrongdoer or people around.  According to the Prevention from Harassment act, you could be committing a crime.

SafeRides advocates all their drivers whether they are driving a Sedan, Van, limo, party bus or any type of vehicle to transport people; not to take the law into their hands instead they should report to the relevant authority when they come across any form of injustice against their passengers, neighbors or loved ones.
