Dear Cop - Designated Drivers

Not really a "traffic question" but do you happen to know the name of the
Company whereby they drive you AND your vehicle home for a donation ?

The service is called "Designated Drivers". A driver who has been drinking only has to call 250-212-9631. A driver will arrive and will drive all occupants and the vehicle to an address supplied. There is a minimum fee and there is also a charge depending on the distance which the vehicle has to be driven.

There are also certain tow companies that will tow a vehicle to the registered owners address. The driver may also have a ride as well. This service is offered at a discount rate from the standard towing charges.
Any method used is a service to any driver who has been drinking. It makes our streets much safer for everybody.

It would also be a lot less money than hiring a lawyer to defend a driver who has been charged with impaired driving.
