Don’t Drink and Drive
Alcohol and driving don’t mix. Even one drink can reduce the
driver’s ability to respond to changing conditions, with reaction
time deteriorating with every additional drink. Do not compromise
driving safety by drinking alcohol.

Generally, the higher the speed the greater the risk, but serious
accidents can also occur at lower speeds. Never drive faster
than is safe for current conditions, irrespective of the local
speed limit.
