SOBRDrive

SOBRDRIVE (pronounced: “sober drive”) a brand new way to Drink Responsibly.

From the time the first practical road-side breath-testing device was introduced in 1931, blood alcohol content (BAC) data has been a tool used to combat impaired driving. Until very recently, blood alcohol content (BAC) data was available only to law enforcement agencies and the courts. Commercially available personal breathalyzer products now make it possible for individual consumers to test (wi

th varying degrees of accuracy) their BAC levels. They can monitor and use the data as personal information--to make smarter decisions regarding driving and other behaviors. CHECKBAC uses DoT-approved fuel cell technology that works with our smart phone applications that allow users to monitor and track alcohol consumption habits, and provide links to safe ride options such as taxis and designated drivers, as well as directions to nearby hotels and restaurants.

Yesterday, the NTSB made a historic recommendation: every new school bus in America should be equipped with alcohol detection technology that disables the vehicle if the driver is impaired.

The recommendation was triggered by a West Virginia crash in which a drunk school bus driver rolled his bus on a rural highway — a child's leg was amputated, and two others were seriously injured. When investigators dug deeper, they uncovered at least 118 school bus drivers accused of DUI over a recent five-year period. A problem hiding in plain sight.

At Driven By Safety Inc., we've spent more than a decade building exactly this infrastructure.

SOBRDRIVE is a breathalyzer-integrated ignition platform paired with a full fleet admin portal that lets transportation directors:

✅ Require BAC verification before every route

✅ Schedule recurring compliance windows — pre-trip, mid-route, and return

✅ Remotely authorize or disable vehicle start

✅ Monitor every driver and every vehicle in real time

✅ Generate auditable compliance records for districts, insurers, and regulators

The NTSB's recommendation won't become federal law overnight — the parallel rule for passenger vehicles is still stuck in the rulemaking process. But school districts, contracted bus operators, and state transportation agencies don't have to wait for Washington. The technology exists. It's proven. It's deployable today.

The cost would be less than $400 per bus; at scale, the price drops even more.

If you lead a pupil transportation program, manage a commercial fleet, or work in highway safety policy, I'd welcome a conversation about how SOBRDRIVE can help you move recommendations into reality.

A 17-year-old is dead in Novato this morning.

The technology that would have kept that car in the driveway has existed for 5 years. My company builds it. And I'm done being polite about who refuses to say its name.

Saturday at 1 a.m., a Toyota Camry carrying five teenagers slammed into a utility pole on San Marin Drive. One didn't survive. Four are still in the hospital. Police say the 17-year-old driver was drunk.

The cruelest detail: it happened hours after their high school held a DUI awareness assembly. They heard the message. They got in the car anyway.

- Awareness is not prevention.

- Promises are not prevention.

- A staged funeral in a school gym is not prevention.

SOBRDRIVE is.

Our system will not physically allow an impaired driver to start the vehicle. No test, no ignition. A failed BAC test is what would have kept that teen alive. It costs less per month than a trip to Starbucks. It installs in minutes. It works on the car your kid already drives. It can be activated remotely.

I have sat in rooms with advocacy groups and insurance politicians who have seen it work — and then gone back to their offices and said nothing, because we refuse to be a "Paid" partner.

I don't understand their Silence.

I do understand what it costs. A 17-year-old in Rohnert Park is what it costs.

If you know a parent of a teen driver, please share it with them tonight.

Most drunk driving campaigns are built on shame.

Crash footage. Guilt. "Don't be stupid."

Guess what? They don't work.

Fear makes people defensive. Shame makes people hide. And guilt? It just makes them hide harder.

So we asked ourselves a radical question:

What if we stopped telling people how to be responsible—and started asking them, "How Do You Do Responsible?"

That's why we created "Responsibility Your Way" by Driven By Safety.

We don't believe in one-size-fits-all responsibility.

We believe in your way.

Whether you're:

✓ A parent protecting a teen driver - SOBRDRIVE Admin Portal

✓ Someone in recovery is building accountability - CheckBAC DRIVE

✓ A social drinker making smart choices - SOBRDRIVE

✓ A designated driver saving lives CheckBAC DRIVE/SOBRDRIVE

Your way of staying responsible matters.

So we're asking: "How do you do Responsible, when drinking?"

Not: "How should you?"

Not: "What's the right way?"

How do YOU do it?

Comment below. Share your specific way. Tag us in a video. Let's build a movement where real people share real answers.

Because when you listen instead of lecture—that's when change happens.

Today, my heart goes out to the family who tragically lost their nine-year-old child in a devastating crash caused by an 18-year-old driver under the influence. This unimaginable loss underscores the profound and far-reaching consequences of drunk driving.

As professionals and community members, we must ask ourselves: Could this tragedy have been prevented?

With the right tools and awareness, the answer is yes.

Our CheckBAC DRIVE empower parents to monitor and manage their young drivers' alcohol consumption, providing an additional layer of safety and responsibility.

CheckBAC DRIVE offers real-time monitoring and alerts, allowing parents to stay informed in real-time and disable the vehicle before the situation becomes catastrophic. By leveraging such technologies, we can work together to prevent similar heartbreaking incidents in the future.

Let this tragedy be a wake-up call for all the organizations against drunk driving, to support responsible driving habits, and utilize available resources to protect our most vulnerable. Together, we can make our roads safer and honor the memory of those we've lost by taking meaningful action.

Below is the real-time stopping of an underaged drinker who's parents had CheckBAC DRIVE installed. The teen was not only unable to start the vehicle, but the parents were notified via text message with their GPS location and video verification using Facial Recognition technology.

This is how you stop drunk driving!

10/09/2024

The loss of a nine year olds life still won't be enough to change the behavior of the organizations who claim to want to end drunk driving.

We are fully prepared to meet the 2026 infrastructure mandate for DUI prevention. Our cutting-edge technology can disable vehicles—gas or electric—from starting if the driver is impaired, all for less than $300 per vehicle. Installation is quick, taking only 30 to 45 minutes.

There is no justification for not aggressively promoting this lifesaving technology alongside DADSS systems and ignition interlocks. Our customers have voluntarily chosen our platforms to protect themselves and their loved ones.

The only barrier to supporting our technology is the desire to shield donations from those whose profits are threatened by this innovation.

It is utterly shameful that organizations remain indifferent to the lives that could be saved by Checkbac Drive and SOBRDrive, simply to protect profits over human lives.

10/03/2024

This is what it looks like to prevent drunk driving! Our customer was prevented from starting their vehicle after multiple tries while impaired.

Checkbac Drive is the only discreet commercial in-vehicle DUI prevention platform on the road today. While you hear about ignition interlocks from organizations against drunk driving, we are doing the work in real-time, preventing lives from being lost, and holding drivers accountable.

This is what the infrastructure DUI mandate is asking for, and we have been delivering since 2021! hashtag

10/02/2024

This person would have been on the road had it not been for CheckBAC DRIVE!

Imagine the lives that could have been lost tonight had this driver not had CheckBAC DRIVE in his vehicle. He tried to start the vehicle 5 times, which means that he is impaired to the point where his decision making is putting him and others in danger.

This person voluntarily ordered CheckBAC DRIVE because he knows he has an issue when it comes to drinking, and he doesn't trust himself to make the right decisions once he starts drinking.

This is what the Halt Act and RIDE Act were meant to do. Provide a way to prevent drunk driving deaths using technology that will be adopted by consumers voluntarilly.

We have been providing this solution since 2021 and we need your help to get this into more vehicles, so that more lives can be saved! This is a concerning situation that highlights the importance of ethical practices in providing support to individuals on their journey to recovery. The refusal to use an Ignition Interlock Device (IID) due to cost and stigma should be respected.

It's alarming that some organizations prioritize their donor's interests over public safety by not offering alternatives like CheckBAC DRIVE.

Thankfully, the family's perseverance led them to a solution that prioritizes saving lives.

At no point in my life did I think the death of a person who was not family would change the course of my life. I saved my first life at the age of twelve when I jumped into a frozen lake to save a young Black girl who had fallen through. I didn't hesitate or think of the consequences if I failed. We both went under at one point, and I remember calling on God to help save us both. He did that day. He also gave me purpose.

That feeling of saving a life would guide me for the rest of my life. It put me on a course that would lead me to create Driven By Safety Inc.

I joined the Army at 17 as a way to gain some independence. I was made an infantry soldier, but my CO saw my ASVAB scores and sent me to Fort Sam Houston to become an Army Medic. I met a Navy Hospital Corpsman there, which made me switch services and become one myself.

After my time in the military, I naturally worked as a first responder for AMR. I did that for ten years in Los Angeles. I moved to Portland, Oregon, and started working for AMR there. I then switched to the emergency room as an ER tech.

I spent the better part of 30 years of my life working in a capacity to save lives and serve my community.

When a repeat drunk driver killed my friend, Tessa, I dedicated my life to finding a solution to this issue. I quit my job and started Driven By Safety Inc. in 2014. Ten years later, I find myself in a fight that doesn't make sense.

In 2021, we introduced SOBRDRIVE and CheckBAC DRIVE. The two platforms answered, "How do we end impaired driving in a way that will be accepted and not infringe on personal freedoms?"

You would think that we would have been met with tremendous enthusiasm. Instead, we have been met with blatant bias and resentment for bringing it to the attention of those in charge.

It's hard to keep being ignored and watching people die every day from drunk driving. I know what that feels like from the perspective of the family, friends, and first responder. Especially now when I know that their lives could have been saved.

Every day, I wake up and pray that God will open the hearts and minds of those in a position to make a difference. I won't stop making noise about my platforms in the hopes that God can use me to save at least one more life.

To me, it will always be just one life saved should be celebrated.
