Drive defensively to ensure the safety of surrounding vehicles, drivers, and pedestrians.

It is important to always abide by all traffic laws and to do your part to prevent devastating consequences to you and others. Thus, if you find yourself unable to safely operate a vehicle, there are always other options for transportation.
