If your car floorboard looks like this then…

You should probably look in the mirror, ask yourself a few questions & make a change!

➡️ Am I being responsible?
➡️ Should I be driving?
➡️Why are there empty beer cans in my car?

The answer is simple:
🚫 NEVER DRIVE IMPAIRED

[FHP Southwest Florida @FHPSWFL]

Part of honoring those who gave so much for our freedom is to help protect the lives of of others! 🇺🇸 NEVER DRIVE IMPAIRED!

First beach trip, anyone?🏖️

Cars would line the Florida sands in the early to mid-1900s. Auto races and speed record attempts dominated at first, but the creation of the assembly line gave the middle class a chance to hit the beach for some fun in the sun☀️

This March, we are reminding motorists to #NeverDriveImpaired. Whether it’s driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs or even feeling drowsy behind the wheel, they all can lead to devastation. You only have one life, don’t waste it by getting wasted.
