A
CAUTION:
Drinking and then driving is very dangerous.
Your reflexes, perceptions, attentiveness and
judgment can be affected by even a small amount
of alcohol. You can have a serious
--
or even
fatal
--
collision
if
you drive after drinking.
Please don’t drink and drive or ride with a driver
who has been drinking. Ride home
in
a cab; or
if
you’re with a group, designate a driver who
will
not drink.
Control
of
a
Vehicle
You have three systems that make your vehicle
go
where
you want it to go. They are the brakes, the steering and
the accelerator.
All
three systems have to
do
their work
at the places where the tires meet the road.
Sometimes,
as
when you’re driving on snow or ice, it’s
easy to ask more
of
those control systems than the tires
and road can provide. That means you can lose control
of
your vehicle.
