Many car accidents happen due to drunk drivers. If you’re under the influence and are about to get behind the wheel, resist and contact a sober friend or taxi driver instead. Driving under the influence is never worth it for you might find yourself in perilous situations. Save yourself from harm and look out for the well-being of others by relying on safer means of transportation.
