If you\u2019re throwing a party this festive season or attending someone else\u2019s, online insurer dotsure.co.za has some useful advice for you and your host to make sure all the guests get home safely afterwards:<\/p>\n
1. Encourage people to give lifts to fellow guests and elect a designated driver who promises not to drink alcohol.<\/p>
2. Make sure there are plenty of non-alcoholic drinks available, as well as food.<\/p>\n
3. Stop serving alcohol long before the party stops so guests have a chance to sober up.<\/p>
4. Have cash available in case some guests need to take a taxi home.<\/p>\n
5. Be prepared to offer guests a bed for the night if they have enjoyed one too many.<\/p>\n
Aside from traditional taxis or Uber, there are a number of companies nationwide which drive people home in their own cars after a party including Road Trip, Scooter Angels, Drive Me Home, Nite Owls and Buddy\u2019s.<\/p>\n
As a responsible vehicle insurer which has client safety top of mind, dotsure.co.za offers clients a free designated driver service which ensures that both the client and his or her vehicle get home safely after a night out.<\/p>\n
Some banks offer their clients a similar service so you should find out if yours does and if you qualify.<\/p>\n
If you are hosting a party this festive season, there is one final thing to bear in mind: if one of your guests is involved in an accident or injures themselves after drinking at your party, you could be sued or held liable.<\/p>\n
So it\u2019s in your and your guests\u2019 best interests to make sure everyone gets home safely.<\/p>\n
