DRINKING AND DRIVING
WARNING
Drinking and then driving is very dangerous. Alcohol in the
bloodstream delays your reaction and impairs your perception,
judgment and attentiveness. If you drive after drinking – even if
you drink just a little – it will increase the risk of being involved in
a serious or fatal accident, injuring or killing yourself, your pas-
sengers and others. In addition, if you are injured in the accident,
alcohol may increase the severity of that injury.
Please don’t drink and drive.
Drunken driving is one of the most frequent causes of accidents. Since
alcohol affects all people differently, you may have consumed too much
alcohol to drive safely even if the level of alcohol in your blood is below
the legal limit. The safest thing you can do is never drink and drive. How-
ever if you have no choice but to drive, stop drinking and sober up com-
pletely before getting behind the wheel.
DRUGS AND DRIVING
WARNING
There are some drugs (over the counter and prescription) that
can delay your reaction time and impair your perception, judg-
ment and attentiveness. If you drive after taking them, it may in-
crease your, your passengers’ and other persons’ risk of being
involved in a serious or fatal accident.
