Native speaker’s answer

Rebecca

A "designated driver" is a person who is chosen amongst a group of people to be the specific driver for the night/day/occasion. Also known as a "DD," they're usually chosen when a group of people are planning on consuming alcohol and need at least one sober person to drive everyone home safely. Most times, the DD will be a person who does not typically drink alcohol. Ex: It's okay, drink as much as you want. I'm the DD tonight. Ex: Who will be the designated driver tonight?
