Driving under the influence plays a major role in many car accidents. If you are under the influence of any mind-altering substance, look to other methods of transportation instead. Getting behind the wheel while impaired can maximize the risks of road accidents. Protect yourself and others by contacting a Rideshare or a trusted family friend to bring you home.
