Breathalyzers actions

These awareness actions take place each week, mostly during the weekends, in events, private parties, night clubs, company events, etc…

At their arrival, the volunteers encourage each group to choose a “designated driver”, who agrees to make a promise: he commits himself to remain sober in order to drive back home safely. The volunteers ask them to wear a bracelet to be recognizable.

When the “designated drivers” leave the nightclub, we give them the opportunity to undergo an alcohol test to check if they have honoured their commitment. If this is the case, the “designated drivers” are rewarded with small presents offered by our partners and sponsors. If this is not the case, we encourage the person to leave his/her car on the side or to hand the keys to a friend who did not drink any alcohol.

Our goal is not to be repressive or to spread a negative message; on the contrary we always try to discuss with the group in order to find the most reasonable solution to arrive home safely. We hope to modify the behaviour and show that youngsters can take care of their own life and the life of their friends.
