Tomorrow is a very special day! The wonderful annual celebration that is Valentine’s Day is a time for romance, indulgence and making memories with the one you love. For many people, tomorrow will entail enjoying a luxurious dinner at one of Vancouver’s top restaurants. It may also include sharing a bottle of wine at a cozy lounge or heading out to a special event. One thing, however, should remain non-negotiable. That would be getting home safely.
As we alluded to, alcohol consumption is a common practice every Valentine’s Day. That is why enlisting the services of a designated driver is the perfect Valentine’s Day plan.
Toast to your love without the worry.
What do you have planned to celebrate the special day tomorrow? Well, let’s see. Wine pairings, signature cocktails and champagne toasts are all popular parts of the Valentine’s Day experience. But when the night ends, the last thing you want is to worry about how you’ll get home. With British Columbia’s strict impaired driving laws and the added presence of road checks during holiday celebrations, it’s important to have a solid plan in place.
Blair Qualey of Clearwater Times reveals that B.C. Highway Patrol reported 222 drivers were found to be impaired during a province-wide campaign during just one holiday season Saturday. “According to the Criminal Code of Canada, it’s illegal to drive with a blood alcohol content equal to or greater than 80 milligrams in 100 millilitres of blood,” he informs.
Impress your Valentine with VIP treatment.
What is Valentine’s Day all about if not showing your partner just how much he or she means to you? Well, nothing says “I planned this just for you” like arranging a luxury designated driver service. Why not surprise your special someone with a seamless, stress-free experience from start to finish?
When you order a designated driver from MyDDride, you are ensured a VIP experience. There is no waiting for a ride. Your designated driver arrives at the time you specify. Remember that you travel home in your own vehicle too. That means you can drive to your celebration and know you won’t have to drive home yourself. You won’t have to come back for your car the next day either. Your designated driver takes you and your loved one to your destination in the comfort and safety of your own car.
Show yourself some love.
Valentine’s Day is all about showing love. Everyone knows that. But who says you can’t reserve some of that love for yourself? Perhaps, you don’t have a Valentine to spend the evening with. If you’re out and about, enjoying the single life, you may still wish to indulge in some drinks. Naturally, it’s still vital to make the responsible choice to plan a safe ride home. It is an act of both self-care and consideration for everyone on the road.
Getting home safe is not a matter that should be taken lightly. MADD Canada relays the story of Oakville, Ontario resident, Carolyn Swinson. Tragically, she lost not one but two family members in Valentine’s Day-related car accidents. They happened 12 years apart. Impaired drivers were the culprits for both. Be clear that there is simply no substitute for safe travelling. This is especially true during special occasions when alcohol is part of the festivities.
