A Safe Ride is a must when you have been drinking

This is how a night of drinking can quickly turn into a nightmare. Imagine you’re at a bar celebrating, enjoying a few drinks, and feeling great. Everyone around you is drinking too. Before long, you’re tipsy and thinking, “I’m fine — I can keep going.” After a few more drinks, reality hits: everything feels fast, your balance is off, and suddenly you’re wondering how you’re going to get home.

Your friends tell you to stay, but you insist on driving your own car. You get behind the wheel, back up, and BAAAM — you hit the car behind you. Panic sets in, and you speed off. You’re struggling to stay awake, your headlights aren’t even on, and before you can react, you collide with another vehicle. Now the police are behind you, and eventually, you’re caught.

In a matter of minutes, you’ve become a drunk driver, facing consequences that could have been avoided.

How To Avoid This?

Alcohol impairs your senses, judgment, and motor skills. When intoxicated, people often become defensive or aggressive when told to take a cab or rideshare. Impaired thinking makes you believe you’re capable of anything — including driving when you absolutely shouldn’t.

Drunk driving continues to claim lives across the United States. Many victims are children riding with intoxicated parents or innocent people in other vehicles. Preventing these tragedies requires a realistic, accessible solution.

At SafeRides.org, we work tirelessly to reduce drunk and distracted driving by offering a fun, convenient, and affordable alternative. Our service makes luxury transportation accessible at low rates, so you never have to rely on unsafe options or attempt to drive yourself home.

With SafeRides, you and your friends can ride safely in a fully licensed, state‑inspected sedan, van, limo, SUV, party bus, mini bus, or shuttle bus, driven by a designated professional.

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

2 Comments

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.

After months and months of reading about drunk and distracted driving in the news, and noticing how little general public cares about this until it hits close to home, Safe Rides Unlimited has decided to launch this blog where we can keep our readers up to date on the latest news, laws, and stories from those involved in such tragedies.

It seems the laws are getting more lenient than ever about drunk driving, latest one being the kid who killed 4 innocent people and got off because I’m guessing his parents were connected and somehow the attorneys were able to get the kid of on a defense based on “Affluenza”.  So let me get this straight, if you are a rich kid who is used to having what he or she wants, can go around killing people and not be held responsible cause he wasn’t taught limits by the parents?

Well than in my opinion the parents should be held responsible for not teaching their kid the basic morals and respect of life!  I remember before I started safe rides I lost 2 friends in a drunk driving accident and I was distraught for months, one minute we were planning on meeting at a diner on RT 3 and how we were going to follow each others cars and the next watching them lose control, get in an accident and die.

At that point in my life i decided to leave a lucrative career at my families wall street firm and dedicate my life to reducing drunk driving in a practical way.  I started Safe Rides Unlimited with the goal of making a real difference and not just talking about how its bad.  I came to conclusion that unless people are presented with real Transportation alternatives they have no choice but to drive drunk cause of the way the society is setup, alcohol is a HUGE part of American lifestyle, so just saying dont drive drunk wont solve the problem.  I exposed myself to the tragedies and met with those affected, the one memory i will never forget is meeting with the parents of a young girl not even in her teens.  She was hit by a drunk driver coming back from a football game, crossed over to the wrong side of the road and hit that innocent girl, putting her in a wheel chair for life, she couldn’t even breathe on her own or feed herself.  I will never forget that image cause even as a tough guy i couldn’t help but tear up.  The accident was over in seconds but the rest of her life, her families life was changed forever.  The worst part is when something like this happens people get real worked up and offer help initially but than forget about it and move on with their own lives.  who is to help the victims on the long term?

The point I’m making is the effects of drunk driving are not limited to the accident.  it ruins families, think about your child that you raised from birth and is your everything getting hit by a drunk driver.  i know my life would be destroyed and i would never be able to come out of the depression for a second time.

I encourage everyone to come share their stories with us so we can make them available to the masses and hopefully causing some change and making a difference in reducing drunk and distracted driving.
