Car Safety Tips: Never use Alcohol or Drugs

This is pretty self explanatory. Alcohol and Drugs are a big NO NO when driving any form of vehicle.  

Alcohol can give you poor judgment and a false sense of self confidence when behind the wheel.  Alcohol also takes a long time to leave your body. You may have had a drink the evening before making a journey but the alcohol can still be in your system the following morning which means you could still be over the limit and unfit to drive.

The best solution is not to drink alcohol at all when planning a journey, and arrange another means of transport. Remember you will always receive a Drink Driving Ban when caught over the limit.

Drugs are always something to watch out for when driving. Whether Legal or Illegal

Always check you can still drive with your Doctor or Pharmacist when you are prescribed any form of drug.  Illegal drugs are highly dangerous and this is a much bigger threat than alcohol.  Drugs can be very deadly to other road users around you and would lead to a criminal conviction.
