The StearClear App Lets the Inebriated Get Home Safe in Their Own Car

— September 21, 2012 — Autos
It happens more often than a person would like to acknowledge, but people often get behind the wheel of a car when tipsy or even flat-out drunk; the StearClear app hopes to make this poor decision-making a thing of the past. Or, at the very least, much more contained. Often times people consider it more inconvenient to leave their car behind than to arrive home harm-free. Instead of having to do that, the StearClear app puts people in contact with a slew of designated drivers.

For a flat rate of $20 plus $2 for every mile, StearClear app ensures people get home safely in their own car. Funded by local entrepreneurs, they earn 80% of the revenue generated in the zipcode area they buy into.
