WARNING - Driving Under the
Influence of
Alcohol or Drugs
Drinking and driving is dangerous. 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 judgement.
You are much more likely to have a serious
accident if you drink 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 cab.
Driving while under the influence of drugs
is as dangerous or more dangerous than
driving drunk.
