Do Not Drink And Drive

The perverse actions of a reckless driver can increase the likelihood of traffic collisions. If you are a driver, pay close attention to those around you. Always keep a considerable distance from others just in case harm is near.

Always practice safe driving skills and never drink if you are driving.
