Drinking and then driving
is
very dangerous.
Your reflexes, perceptions, attentiveness and
judgement can be affected by even a
small
amount
of
alcohol. You can have a serious-or
even fatal-collision if you drive after drinking.
Please don’t drink and drive or ride with a
driver who has been drinking. Ride home
in
a
cab; or if you’re with a group, designate a
driver who will not drink.
Control of
a
Vehicle
You have three systems that make your vehicle go where
you want it to go. They are the brakes, the steering and
the accelerator.
All
three systems have to do their work
at
the places where the tires meet the road.
Sometimes, as when you’re driving on
snow
or ice, it’s
easy to ask more
of
those control systems than the
tires and road can provide. That means you can lose
control
of
your vehicle.
