Everyone knows the dangers of drunk driving but, everyone also know someone who drinks and drives. Driving is scary/dangerous enough as it is and, to think that people are out there driving under the influence is a insane to think about. This blog is not about to lecture people about drinking and driving though. It's about what society needs to do to limit the amount of people who drink and drive!
Now a days there are tonnnssss of charities that support every cause under the sun. The charity that I would want to start is called No Questions Asked. No Questions Asked would be a charity that offers a designated driver to anyone who needs one if they call a specific number... no questions asked. I know what your thinking, "How are you going to find a driver 24/7?" I think that a lot of people out in the communities would love to help out in any way shape or form if they know that they are saving lives and providing a good example for children. The program would be run on donations and volunteers.
How is this different than a taxi?
There would be no demand for you to pay the driver! It would be run purely on donation. If the person getting a ride would want to spare a few dollars to give to the driver they could but there's no pressure. Taxis are very expensive so many people take the gamble of drunk driving instead which usually doesn't end well!
Who would be able to get a ride?
Anyone who calls the number. It doesn't matter how old you are. Teenagers and adults are free to use the service. Again, I know what your thinking, "This will promote underage drinking?" What's worse a child getting a DUI and becoming a felon while still in high school or calling NO Questions Asked? What's worse a teenager going to jail for killing someone or calling No Questions Asked? Also, I think after the program gets later developed the program would help people who have DUIs and don't have a license but need to get to and from work. People with DUIs have a hard time getting to and from work, stores, and etc. The program is set up to help the community and should really look at ways to help everyone in need.
Many parents claim that they have "talked" to their children and told them that they will pick them up any where or time if they need a ride. The negative to that is many teenagers don't want to get in trouble with their parents so they don't call and drive home. Also, teenagers know that their parents don't want to wake up at four o'clock in the morning to pick them up so they get behind the wheel intoxicated! Then there are the teenagers who don't have people to pick them up which isn't fair! My program would help out everyone who falls into any category of need! This is a positive program and positive way of thinking.
I know this would charity would be pretty close to impossible to set up all across the country but it would be nice if something was set up for people who need rides while they're intoxicated! I feel like there are many ways to help out people in the community and this would be a nice way to help out! =)
P.S. I hope you like my blogs. I don't know if they're good or not but, I'm having fun writing them! =] I have no idea what my next blog will be about. If you have any suggestions let me know!
