UBER: Making Toronto Safer

You’re in the mood to celebrate, it’s a Friday night and you had a really hard workweek, you’re ready for a night out with friends. You’ll be going to your favourite restaurant and of course, having a few drinks to lighten the mood.While going out and having a few drinks is always a good time, there can be some risks involved. Just under four Canadians are killed and 190 are injured every day in alcohol and drug related crashes. Jeopardizing your insurance can also cause a high risk as some insurance companies may deny coverage if you are convicted for driving impaired.We all know not to drink and drive and so does UBER, a company that develops, markets and operates a mobile-app-based transportation network. This month UBER took to the streets of downtown Toronto where after a night of drinking Torontonians could do their very own breathalyser test and receive a free ride home.UBER SAFE has really come out with a great initiative to keep everybody safe while still allowing for a fun night out with friends. There are plenty of options for you when you feel like letting loose. Stay informed and don’t find yourself in a situation where you may not only harm your insurance but the lives of others. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VECIOprmHMg
