Designated Driver Insurance

The Importance of Having a Designated Driver

Nine times out of 10, a night out often involves more than just a drink or two. It’s practically British culture, a social ritual. And in the midst of the festivities, having a designated driver is like having a guardian angel for your journey home. They skip the drinks, stay sharp, and stay fit to get behind the wheel when you’re all partied out.

But why does it matter so much? Well, apart from avoiding the headache of having your Uber cancel as the sun comes up and the birds start chirping, and definitely avoiding getting behind the wheel whilst intoxicated, you’re keeping the roads safe – especially when they’re at their most dangerous, as day turns into night. When you get behind the wheel after drinking, not only are you putting your own and your group’s lives in danger, but also everybody else’s on the road. The designated driver’s responsibilities are to stay in a legal and safe state to drive, in turn avoiding lengthy driving bans and even the possibility of jail if caught intoxicated behind the wheel.

And remember, being the designated driver isn’t all bad! You get a cheap night out, if you can persuade your friends to pay you back, maybe even a free night out the next time you hit the bars, and no hangover the next day! It’s a win-win.
