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 driver

who has been drinking or taking

drugs. Choose a designated

driver or call a taxi.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of SERIOUS

INJURY or DEATH, take the fol-

lowing precautions:

• ALWAYS wear your seat belt.

All passengers must be prop-

erly belted whenever the vehi-

cle is moving. For more

details, refer to "Seat Belts" in

chapter 2.

• Always drive defensively.

Assume other drivers or pedes-

trians may be careless and

make mistakes.

• Stay focused on the task of

driving. Driver distraction can

cause accidents.

NEVER drink or take drugs and

drive.

Drinking or taking drugs and

driving is dangerous and may

result in an accident and SERI-

OUS INJURY or DEATH.

Drunk driving is the number

one contributor to the highway

death toll each year. Even a

small amount of alcohol will

affect your reflexes, percep-

tions and judgment. Just one

drink can reduce your ability to

respond to changing conditions

and emergencies and your reac-

tion time gets worse with each

additional drink.

• Leave plenty of space between

you and the vehicle in front of

you.

Driving while under the influ-

ence of drugs is as dangerous

or more dangerous than driving

under the influence of alcohol.
