Safety and Me
 
Just the facts

Impaired driving is driving while under the influence of alcohol or other drugs. It is estimated that two out of every five Americans will be involved in an alcohol-related crash at some time in their lives. Statistics are not available for other drug-related fatalities, but studies do indicate that marijuana and other drugs affect judgment and coordinates.

In recent years, as a result of federal, state and community efforts, and the increased public awareness fostered by such organizations as the National Safety Council, MADD and SADD, alcohol-related collisions have declined. The fatalities and injuries caused by drug-impaired driving are still dangerously high, however. Alcohol is involved in nearly 50 percent of all traffic fatalities, and 1.2 million people are injured in alcohol-related crashes every year.

Impaired driving affects everyone. Even if you don't drink or never drink and drive, you pay the cost of other's doing so. Therefore, it is your responsibility to yourself and those you care about to take control and take the keys from an impaired driver.

As they say: friends don't let friends' drink and drive!
