What  impairs  driving  safety? 
Safe  driving is directly  related  to  the  condition  of  the 
vehicle,  the  driver as  well as  the  driver's  ability  to  concen
trate  on  the  road  without  being  distracted . 
The  driver  is  responsible  for  the  safety  of  the  vehicle  and  all 
of  its  occupants.  If  your  ability  to  drive  is  impaired,  safety 
risks  for  everybody  in the  vehicle  increase  and  you  also 
become  a  hazard  to  everyone  else  on  the  road::::,,& . There
fore: 
Do not  let  yourself  be  distracted  by passengers  or  by using 
a  cellular  telephone. 
NEVER drive  when  your  driving  ability  is  impaired  (by 
medications,  alcohol,  drugs,  etc.). 
- Observe  all  traffic  laws,  rules  of the  road  and  speed  limits 
and  plain  common  sense . 
- ALWAYS adjust  your  speed  to  road,  traffic  and  weather 
conditions. 
- Take  frequent  breaks  on  long  trips.  Do not  drive  for  more  than  two  hours  at  a  stretch. 
- Do  NOT drive  when  you  are  tired,  under  pressure  or  when 
you  are  stressed . 
& WARNING 
Impaired  driving  safety increases the  risk of  serious personal 
injury  and  death  whenever  a  vehicle is being  used.•
