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.
