Giants Fans Always Have a Designated Driver -

06/26/2015

Fans who attended the San Francisco Giants games versus the San Diego Padres at AT&T Park on June 24 and 25, 2015 were treated to a great week of baseball. Hundreds of fans helped the Giants earn points in the Budweiser Good Sport Designated Driver Challenge against the Padres and the Los Angeles Dodgers. Each pledge to be a designated driver earned the Giants 1 point in the competition. Participating fans autographed a responsibility wall and received a free souvenir photo.

US DOT / NHTSA 2014 NATIONAL DATA:

• In 2014, 9,967 people were killed as a result of alcohol-related (BAC > 0.08) car crashes, a decrease of 1.1% from the 10,076 fatalities in 2013.

• Many, if not most of those lives would have been saved if people did not drive when they were impaired by alcohol or if they used sober, designated drivers or if they simply wore their seat belts.

• Statistics and research clearly show that 21-34 year old males are the demographic most likely to be involved in an automobile crash, drive when impaired by alcohol, and fail to buckle up.
