careful” isn’t
the
right answer. What
if
there’s an emergency,
a
need
to
take
sudden action, as when
a
child darts into the street?
A
person with even
a
moderate
BAC
might
not
be able
to
react quickly enough to avoid the
collision.
There’s something else about drinking and driving that many people don’t
know. Medical research shows that alcohol
in
a person’s system can make
crash injuries worse, especially injuries to the brain, spinal cord
or
heart.
This means that when anyone who has been drinking
-
driver
or
passenger
-
is in
a
crash, that person’s chance
of
being killed or permanently disabled
is higher than
if
the person had not been drinking.
Control
of
a
Vehicle
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.
