Three Reasons Not to Drink and Drive
Author: William Bly
You would think that most people would know the dangers of drinking and driving. Have we not seen enough commercials with beaten up vehicles and ambulances screaming through the streets because of drunk drivers? If you have any questions about this here are three reasons which will show that drinking and driving is not a smart thing to do.
1. It can result in legal problems. There is a certain level of alcohol that is considered acceptable. Although some people will tell you that they can handle more than this legal limit, scientific evidence has shown that when we consume more than the legal limit of alcohol we are no longer in as capable control of ourselves. We are not as careful as we could be and tend to make poor decisions. Driver's licenses can be suspended if you get pulled over for driving under the influence. Defensive driving classes, alcohol rehab and even jail can also occur. So, it may be wise to remember that drinking and driving can cause legal problems and is not a good thing to do.
2. Car insurance rates can increase. Insurance rates increase dramatically due to accidents and drunk driving issues. If you have ever been involved in an at-fault traffic accident you may be aware of this fact. More than likely, adding a drinking and driving event to your insurance record will likely lead to higer premiums. With the present state of the economy, life is quite expensive already. So remember that another downside of drinking and driving is a likely increase in your car insurance rates.
3. It is dangerous to drive under the influence. Although this is common knowledge, it is important enough to emphasize. All of us know that drinking and driving increases accidents, just 1 or 2 can affect our ability to drive safely. The risk is not worth it. So it is good to consider this third reason not to drive under the influence, as it is dangerous to you and other drivers.
All this does not mean that drinking is actually bad. It can sometimes be a way to relax. It is just that driving after that drink is not a wise thing to do. To keep yourself and others safe you might consider hiring a taxi or getting a sober friend to help you get home. It may also be wise to consider drinking at home. If these alternatives are not an option then you may consider staying where you are or even walking rather than drinking and driving.
