A New Solution to the DUI Prevention Problem
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports show that 13,846 people died in 2008 due to an alcohol-related incident. The costs associated with driving under the influence (DUI) are staggering – the emotional cost of injuring someone, the potential loss of job or income, the reality of jail time and an average cost of $10,000 per offense. It’s not worth the risk; Safe Ride Solutions and Lifeloc are offering a proactive alternative.
Lifeloc Technologies, Inc. and Safe Ride Solutions announced a coordinated driving under the influence (DUI) prevention effort for professionals, corporations and private citizens concerned about the dangers of drinking and driving.
"After extensive testing with your LifeGuard device, I can say your breath alcohol tester is the best I have seen in the market. We conducted countless tests with all types of alcohol, from beer to wine to cocktails. Your device’s readings were accurate test after test."

According to Gary Lawrence, CEO of SRS, a nationwide safe ride service, the new effort works on three levels: education, self-monitoring and transportation solutions. "We provide DUI prevention education to individuals, organizations and corporations. Part of that education is to understand and manage one’s breath alcohol content (BAC) through self-monitoring using a breathalyzer," said Lawrence. "LifeGuard® is the only consumer breathalyzer to use proven law enforcement technology making it the only one we trust. Finally, when someone discovers they are unsafe to drive we arrange for a trained, professional driver to pick them up and take them home in the comfort of their own vehicle."
This partnership is powerful because it combines education with self–monitoring and the ultimate convenience of a safe and discreet ride home. "There is great synergy between our two companies," said Knott. "The LifeGuard® personal breathalyzer provides law enforcement grade BAC measurement accuracy. All SRS’s drivers are active or honorably retired members of public safety. These drivers can be trusted to provide a secure, safe and confidential service to get you and your car home."
