is as dangerous or more dangerous
than driving drunk.
You are much more likely to have a
serious accident if you drink or
take drugs and drive.
If you are drinking or taking drugs,
don’t drive. Do not ride with a driv-
er who has been drinking or taking
drugs. Choose a designated driver
or call a cab.

the vehicle with the engine on, be
careful not to depress the accel-
erator pedal for a long period of

loose objects may drop on the
floor and it could interfere with

If you do not focus on driving, it may cause an accident. Be care-
ful when operating what may dis-
turb driving such as audio or
