1. Driving impaired is not just illegal 🚫, it can be deadly. If you see someone about to drive after using drugs, stop them, take their keys, and call them a safe, sober ride home. If you feel different, you drive different. Drive high, get a DUI.
A reminder from your vehicle. Buckle up, every seat, every trip, every time.
