Drug tests actions

These awareness actions take place mostly during the weekends, in events, private parties and night clubs. With these actions we want to sensitize young people about the risks of driving under influence. We want to reduce the number of young people killed on roads during weekend’s nights.

At the entrance of the party, 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 and a drug test to check if they have honoured their commitment. They can prove to their friends that they did not take any alcohol or drug. 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 or any drug.

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.
