I use this service all the time. Removing this service is the craziest thing i have heard. It will force people to drink and drive.

A taxi doesn't get your car home too! If DD driving companies can provide a service to keep drunk drivers off the road then why would ban their services??

Designated Drivers are needed in every town and city...they provide a needed service to get people and their vehicles home. They don't just picknup people who have been dri king, they pick up from the hospital...eg-someone going for years and they drive themselves to the hospital but find out they Re not allowed to drive home..well they call a DD and get themselves and car home..they also pick people who are tired....its not just a service Industry for people who drink...I think this is a misconception and I frown upon the use of the word " Drunks" when referring to the customers who use this service...please sign this petition in support of this great industry!!

This is an essential service that I use regularly within the Durham Region and feel it is necessary to keep drunk drivers off the road.

As a person standing on the outside looking in I truly believe that DD Services save Lives, but I have to ask myself how many are registered and pay taxes, and use legal hiring practices, do they recognize follow peoples rights as workers hired for a job listed with in Services Canada. Drivers that are hired do have rights under Ontario labor laws that are to be followed by the laws of Ontario for hiring people, I support the idea that people do have the right to get home safe by hiring a driver to do so. From first hand experience I know that there are those that do take advantage the people they hire as drivers. This type public service has to be controlled to protect the drivers and the people that use this type of service as a means to prevent from being charged with impaired driving in Durham.
