I saw this sort of thing on TOP GEAR UK and thought it was a great idea - now its available in Victoria
 I used the AFF Search and search the company name and can't see where anyone has posted this "Drivers on Scoot" they are called - google it They are on Facebook as well Here is the Media Link - http://www.driversonscoot.com.au/Media/media.html Here is what they say about themselves If you drink, we drive. It really is that simple! A personal designated driver will scoot to your Melbourne Metropolitan location, at your agreed time and drive you and your car home safely! A total peace of mind, our service is 100% professional, affordable and reliable. Save on two way costly taxis! Wake up the next day with your licence intact and your car in the driveway! From Werribee to Mornington Peninsula, no distance too short or too long. What’s more; we are the only company fully insured to drive

a mate told me about this in Brisbane recently. They have a little scooter that they fold up and put in the boot and pull it back out when they get to your place and ride off. Wonder how much it actually costs thou. Wonder if they pay alright

This used to exist years ago in Perth, it was called "the skippers club" and they had that little fold up scooter that went in the boot. Dunno what happened to the company behind it. I'm talking nearly 20 years ago.

You could call them up, pretend your ****ed, get them to drive you somewhere remote and ask them to check your tail lights, then speed off with their scooter and maybe their wallet. Leave em in the lurch
