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.

steering and the accelerator.

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
