WARNING
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH, take the following precautions:
• ALWAYS wear your seat belt. All
passengers must be properly belted
whenever the vehicle is moving. For
more information, refer to the "Seat
Belts" section in chapter 3.
• Always drive defensively. Assume other
drivers or pedestrians may be careless
and make mistakes.
• Stay focused on the task of driving.
Driver distraction can cause accidents.
• Leave plenty of space between you and
the vehicle in front of you.
WARNING
NEVER drink or take drugs and drive.
Drinking or taking drugs and driving is
dangerous and may result in an accident
and SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH.
Drunk driving is the number one
contributor to the highway death toll each
year. Even a small amount of alcohol will
affect your reflexes, perceptions and
judgment. Just one drink can reduce your
ability to respond to changing conditions
and emergencies. Your reaction time gets
worse with each additional drink.
Driving while under the influence of drugs
is as dangerous as or more dangerous
than driving under the influence of
alcohol.
You are much more likely to have a
serious accident if you drink or take drugs
and drive. If you are drinking or taking
drugs, don't drive. Do not ride with a
driver who has been drinking or taking
drugs. Choose a designated driver or call
a taxi.
