Drinking and Driving

Safe driving requires good vision, sound judgment and fast reaction times. Alcohol, a depressant, impairs all three.  Your ability to drive a car or any other vehicle safely, may be impaired at blood alcohol levels well below the legal limit.

The message is clear: alcohol and driving don’t mix. If you drink and drive you run a real risk of killing or injuring yourself and others. You also run the risk of being arrested and convicted of drunk driving – an experience that involves court costs, legal fees, higher car insurance rates, fines, loss of license and/or imprisonment.

If you’re going round to friends for supper, out on the town or just going for a drink or two, the best advice is to agree a non-drinking designated  driver  before you go out for the evening, or to arrange a taxi/transport to take you home.
