Fighting Impaired Driving
By New Hampshire Public TelevisionI
Impaired driving impacts all of us, the following are some things each of us can do to make our roads safer.
- Wear a safety belt.
- Be a responsible host. Serve food and have non-alcoholic drinks available. Don't let your guests drive after drinking alcohol and never serve alcohol to someone under the age of 21.
- Speak out expressing your concern over drunk driving and underage drinking in your community.
- Never ride in a car with someone who has been drinking - call a cab or ask a friend to drive you home.
- Report drunk drivers immediately to area law enforcement from a car phone or pay phone with the license plate number, description of the vehicle, and the direction in which it was traveling.
- Keep a safe distance from anyone driving erratically and do not try to intervene yourself.
