Interesting subject considering I know a girl who totaled her car on 127 after getting drunk in Lansing Friday night after turning down my offer to do the driving. (I don't drink)

I hope she learned a tough lesson at Christmas. She lost a bran new car, will likely lose her job and her apartment, and will lose a ton of money in the courts.

I think there should be greater incentives for those of us who are designated drivers. We may not be on par with the soldier but we DDs do a great service for a lot of people. We protect the liability of distillers and bars. We protect the liability of the drinkers. We protect the taxpayers by reducing the numbers of drunk driving cases in court. And we protect the innocent people on the roads.

She's lucky she didn't kill someone. We offer a choice when we've been confronted with someone who wants to drive impaired: it's us, a taxi, or the cops. So far we've never had to call the cops.
