Driving while impaired by any substance puts you and others in harm’s way.

It’s illegal in the U.S to drive under the influence of alcohol, marijuana, or any potentially impairing drug (prescribed or over the counter).

Weekends and holidays are especially dangerous times on our roadways.  

If you choose to drink, plan for a sober ride home. If you’re hosting guests who are drinking, help ensure they get home safely. 

Don’t drink and drive. Save lives.
