Another cab company you can trust…even for women
We have reported on some horrendous stories regarding people catching unmarked cabs. We have given a list of cabs you can trust. Now there is one more and it’s from SA’s very own Automobile Association!
“Statistics show that motor vehicle crashes claim the lives of more than 14 000 people annually with as many as 150 000 more injured. This costs the economy around R307 billion a year or 7.8% of GDP. More than half of this can be attributed to alcohol consumption, which is in itself a shocking number.”
The Automobile Association (AA) says that South Africa’s poor public transport facilities mean that drivers are tempted to drive home after drinking, even if they know they shouldn’t.
“Now AA Designated Driver means they don’t have to worry,” the Association added. AA Designated Driver will operate seven days a week, 365 days a year, through a simple booking service. All the drivers have a clean driving licence and are older than 25.
The best part for us at WOW is that female drivers can be requested for added peace-of-mind for women who use the service. A communication is sent 45 minutes prior to pick-up with the driver’s name, an added security feature of the service.
The service will operate in all major centres in South Africa and will ensure the user and their vehicle is taken home safely through a reliable provider.
“The AA Designated Driver service is going to make a big difference to road safety,” the AA said. “It is the first get-you-home service provided countrywide by a reputable motoring organisation. Drinking and driving is just not worth the risk,” the AA concluded.
