What does ODD mean in OCCUPATION & POSITIONS

Individuals looking to become an official designated driver need to make sure they are sober throughout the entire drive. This may involve never consuming any alcohol or drinks, including over-the-counter medications that may impair one's ability to operate a vehicle safely. Once you have made this commitment, you can let your fellow travelers know you are their designated driver for the trip.

Being an official designated driver brings many benefits such as avoiding DUI charges, promoting safe travel, and even free non-alcoholic drinks! Additionally, there are often incentives given out at bars or restaurants which entice people to be responsible by driving home soberly with their friends by offering discounted non-alcoholic drinks and rewards for being ODD.

Yes, regardless of whether or not you have consumed alcohol, it is important to understand that operating a motor vehicle comes with its own set of risks. Being aware of these risks and following local laws regarding speed limits, distracted driving laws, traffic flow regulation etc., can help keep everyone safe on the roads.

No special training is required in order to become an official designated driver; however, having knowledge in proper maintenance of cars and knowing how to properly use safety features such as seatbelts is helpful when it comes to understanding general road safety protocols.

If you are unable to be the designated driver for your group, there are alternatives such as public transit or hiring a taxi/car service instead. It might also be beneficial for group members who intend on drinking alcohol during their outing plan ahead and designate another individual who can serve as the ODD before leaving for their destination.
