dangerous than driving drunk.

have a serious accident if you
drink or take drugs and drive.
If you are drinking or taking
drugs, do not drive. Do not ride
with a driver who has been drink-
ing or taking drugs. Choose a
designated driver or call a cab.WARNING

ly belted whenever the vehicle

ple, especially children, before
