Fans helped the Los Angeles Dodgers earn points in the Budweiser Good Sport Designated Driver Challenge against the San Francisco Giants and the San Diego Padres. These fans pledged to be Good Sports – designated drivers for their group.Each designated driver is worth a “home run” (1 point) in the challenge.

US DOT / NHTSA 2012 NATIONAL DATA:

  • In 2012, 10,322 people were killed as a result of alcohol-related (BAC > 0.08) car crashes, an increase of 4.6% from the 9,865 fatalities in 2011.
  • 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.
