Drinking and Driving

Drinking and driving refers to operating a vehicle while intoxicated by alcohol, which impairs your judgment, reflexes, and coordination. Alcohol affects the brain’s ability to process information quickly, making it harder to react to road conditions, follow traffic signals, or respond to emergencies. This significantly increases the risk of accidents, injuries, or fatalities. Laws prohibit driving with blood alcohol levels above a legal limit to protect all road users. It's essential to find alternative transportation if you've been drinking to ensure safety for yourself and others.
