Driving under the influence of alcohol? Think twice. Alcohol consumption can cloud your judgment and motor reflexes, which can lead to serious road crashes. Drunk driving is one of the major causes of road traffic crashes and subsequent injuries/fatalities.
Driving while intoxicated is a serious offence that carries significant legal penalties.
The impact of drunk driving can be far-reaching, with its potential for devastating injuries or fatalities on the road.
Not just physical consequences, the guilt, shame and trauma from injuries or deaths caused by drunk driving can last a lifetime.
Societal Consequences: Beyond the Individual
Drunk driving doesn’t just affect the driver and their immediate victims. It has far-reaching consequences for society, because it endangers people, damages property, and strains community resources.
Choose to be responsible
The consequences of drunk driving are deadly and costly. The responsibility lies in each of us. Plan a designated driver, call a cab, or use a ridesharing service if you plan to drink. Let’s make our roads safer for everyone.
