Why You Should Never Drink and Drive
Driving after drinking alcohol or using drugs puts everyone at risk. Even a small amount of alcohol can reduce your ability to react quickly, make good decisions, and safely control your vehicle.
Choosing to drive impaired can result in:
- Serious or fatal crashes
- Injuries to yourself, passengers, or others
- DUI arrest and criminal charges
- Driver’s license suspension
- Expensive fines and court costs
- Higher insurance premiums
- Possible jail time
The consequences of impaired driving can affect your life for many years. More importantly, one poor decision can permanently change another family’s life.
Plan Ahead Before You Go Out
If you plan to drink, make arrangements before leaving home.
Some safe options include:
- Use a rideshare service like Uber or Lyft.
- Designate a sober driver.
- Call a trusted friend or family member.
- Stay overnight if you are unable to drive safely.
- Use public transportation where available.
Making a plan before drinking is one of the easiest ways to prevent impaired driving.
Supporting Safer Communities
DUI checkpoints and saturation patrols are intended to reduce impaired driving, prevent crashes, and encourage responsible choices behind the wheel. Whether you’re traveling across town or returning home after an evening out, always drive sober and obey traffic laws.
Our goal is to provide public safety information that helps drivers stay informed while encouraging responsible decisions that protect everyone on California’s roads.
