right answer. What if there’s
an
emergency, a need to
take sudden action, as when a child darts into the street?
A
person with even a moderate BAC might not be able
to react quickly enough to avoid the collision.
There’s something else about drinking and driving that
many people don’t know. Medical research shows that
alcohol in a person’s system can make crash injuries
worse, especially injuries to the brain, spinal cord or
heart. This means that when anyone who has been
drinking
--
driver or passenger
--
is in a crash, that
person’s chance of being killed or permanently disabled
is higher than
if
the person had not been drinking.
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.
