Question: I heard that you can't be a designated driver if you were under 21. Is this true?

Answer: That is absolutely not true. Anyone with a valid drivers license can act as a designated driver. And people under 21 cannot legally drink, making them perfect designated drivers.

However, it can be more difficult to be a designated driver if you're not 21 since you cannot get into bars.

But if you're a really great friend and believe in ensuring your friends' safety, you can still wait in the parking lot and serve as a designated driver.

It really upsets me because as many tickets that were wrote, the cops watched everyone that was intoxicated get into vehicles and drive away. That is not right. Everyone complains about the number of deaths and alcohol related accidents, b
