Desire and sacrifice: Seeking Compliance in Designated Driver Talk
Media campaigns introduced the term designated driver to United States discourse in an effort to persuade people to not drink and drive. This study explores implementation of the media campaign's objective in social interactions.
My husband was the designated driver, as usual, returning from an out-of-town baseball game with one of his drinking buddies. He was pulled over, his blood alcohol tested just above the limit and he was arrested and jailed. Fair enough. But what about the ensuing expenses - thousands of dollars in fines and legal fees and the hike in our insurance1? My husband accepts responsibility, but shouldn't his friend offer some financial help? Letter to Randy Cohen's "The Ethicist" column, New York Times Magazine, August 10, 2003.
