DRIVING AND ALCOHOL

Drunken driving is one of the most frequent causes of

accidents.

alcohol levels far below the legal minimum. If you are

drinking, don’t drive. Ride with a designated non-drinking

driver, call a cab, a friend, or use public transportation.

WARNING!

Driving after drinking can lead to an accident. Your

perceptions are less sharp, your reflexes are slower,

and your judgment is impaired when you have been

drinking. Never drink and then drive.
