Activity details
Volunteering Activity Description:
“Night Without Accidents” is a nationwide road safety awareness programme organized by the “Panos Mylonas” Road Safety Institute since 2007. Its main target group is young and newly qualified drivers, while the campaign addresses all drivers, regardless of age or experience. The programme raises awareness of the risks of drinking and driving and promotes the “designated driver” concept: one member of each group commits to staying alcohol-free and driving friends home safely.
Volunteers engage with visitors outside selected nightlife venues, provide road safety information and encourage groups to choose a designated driver, who wears a special wristband. At the end of the evening, the designated driver may voluntarily take a friendly breathalyzer test. Those who keep their commitment are rewarded, while anyone who has consumed alcohol is advised not to drive and to use a taxi or other safe transport.
The activity promotes responsible driving and the message “Never Drink & Drive”.
