Just like cell phones and driving don’t mix, drinking impairs your judgment, slows your reaction times, and increases your chance of making fatal decisions.

Help protect our community by not drinking and driving or using your cell phone while driving.

Make a plan for a safe ride home. Use a designated driver, taxi, or rideshare, because getting home safe is the greatest gift of all. 🏡

Al igual que usar el teléfono celular y manejar no es bueno, el alcohol afecta su juicio, ralentiza sus reflejos y aumenta la probabilidad de tomar decisiones fatales.

Ayude a proteger a nuestra comunidad no conduciendo bajo los efectos del alcohol ni usando el teléfono celular mientras maneja.

Planifique cómo regresar a casa de forma segura. Use un conductor designado, un taxi o un servicio de transporte compartido, porque llegar a casa sano y salvo es el mejor regalo de todos. 🏡
