Control of a Vehicle
LE ,nking and then driving
is very dangerous.
Your reflexes, perceptions, attentiveness and
judgement 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.
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. Also see
