Our objective is to periodically
Designate-A-Driver for High School and College Students helping to SAFELY
transport them to and from after-school activities. We "HOPE"
to help alleviate some of the after-school travel expenses which are
a heavy burden on school budgets; and a major contributing factor to
the elimination of some essential after-school programs. At the same
time utilizing todays technologically advanced vehicles, we can help
educate our young adult passengers on the dangers of underage drinking
and the permanent damage which can be caused by drunk and reckless driving.
When not being used for our primary student passengers, the d-a-dbus
will service it's community with discounted, fundraising "Rhode"
trips.
For example ... a wide range of
sporting events, amusement parks, aquariums, zoos, and other desirable
destinations are just a few which will enable D-A-D to bring our younger
children to youth hockey, Pop-Warner football, little league baseball
games, etc ... as a community service. Group
travel will be fun, sensible, and efficient. While saving lives is our
continuous goal, we will effectively cut down on the use of expensive
gasoline and help "drive" air-pollution out of our communities.

Center for Alcohol Policies
[The
legal age for purchase and/or consumption of alcohol varies considerably
from country to country. Age limits range from a high of 21 in the United
States, Malaysia, Ukraine and Korea, to a low of 16 in countries such
as Italy, France, Belgium and Spain. Many countries, including Azerbaijan,
China, Georgia, Portugal and Thailand currently have no established
legal limits. The laws tend to be silent on drinking within the home
with the exception of those in the United Kingdom where alcohol may
be consumed from the age of five with parental consent.] http://www.icap.org
D-A-D does not and will
not promote underage drinking, though we do feel educating
our youth on the dangers of underage drinking and the permanent damage
which can be caused by drunk and reckless driving, at a younger age
is ethical and necessary. In today's digital world; repetitious video/photo
footage of the many unfortunate mistakes made by other people is a practical
way we can show our children what can and will happen if one chooses
to irresponsibly consume alcohol.
