As we all know, drinking and driving is bad. Very bad. So instead of being a complete and utter fool and getting behind the wheel after a few drinks here are a few alternatives.
Swing low sweet chariot
There are few things better then a sneaky bender (n. The act of a party sneaking up on you when you least expect it) except for the fact that at these occasions, you are often stuck with your car. But never fear, several cab companies are here and for a fee, will come to where ever you are, pick you up and drive your car home. The great thing is that you and your car will be safe and when you wake up in the morning, you won’t have to trawl the streets trying to figure out where you parked.

Planning planning planning
At most social events, there is usually that one person who isn’t drinking. If you had just known in advance you could have organised to hitch a ride with them. Enter Kuandoo, the website which allows for the organisation of all elements of a party. It displays not only who is invited, but who is bringing what, what is still needed to make the jol spectacular and quite wonderfully, who is driving there. If you need a lift or are willing to give a lift you fill in all the details including how many people can fit in your car, and as soon as someone requests to hop in, one online “seat” gets filled. It’s still a new website, but I have high hopes for its future.
Cabs Hereeee!
People don’t actually realise how incredibly cheap cabs are. I remember being in Joburg at some point of my life and a 5 minute cab drive cost about R180. We are so fortunate to have so many affordable cab services in the Mother City so it makes no sense why people don’t take advantage of them. These are my faves.
