Driving while impaired can bring about dangerous outcomes. If you’re under the influence, avoid getting behind the wheel, and rely on safer methods of transportation instead. Drinking and driving increases your chances of hitting someone. Because drugs and alcohol can blur our vision and compromise our judgment, driving is never encouraged.
