DRIVING AND ALCOHOL

Drunken driving is one of the most frequent causes of acci-

dents.

Your driving ability can be seriously impaired with blood 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 per-

ceptions are less sharp, your reflexes are slower, and your

judgment is impaired when you have been drinking.

Never drink and then drive.
