Free designated driver rides Saturday

Date Posted: Tue, Nov 3 2015, ABC Action News
Remember the Lakeland woman who live-streamed her drive and called herself "drunk girl driving"? That's just who you don't want to see behind the wheel.

"Some of us, somebody's in serious trouble. We need to get them off the road in a hurry," said Paradise Gray, driver with BeMyDD app and website.

BeMyDD is a website and free app that provides a designated driver for the night in your own car, or a team of drivers to pick you up at the bar and drive your car home.

"I'm with them the whole time and I don't mind waiting for them to take care of whatever business or whatever they're there for. That's my job," Gray said.

BeMyDD service is free Saturday from 9 p.m. until 2 a.m.

Tampa is one of 24 cities chosen for free rides because we see dangerous drivers and DUIs on the roads. Gray said he has a commercial driver's license and has taken defensive driving courses because he knows who is out there.

"They've taught us what to do when a driver is coming the opposite way and swerving all over the road," Gray said.

On a regular night, a designated driver will cost you $17.50 an hour. A pick-up service is $25 plus a mileage fee.

"I feel good knowing that they don't have to worry about getting home safely cause I'm doing the driving," Gray said.
