Distraction occurs when a driver voluntarily
diverts attention to
something not related
to driving that uses the driver’s eyes, ears, or
hands.

TIPS TO PREVENT DRUNK DRIVING
„Designate a sober driver before the party begins
„Don’t get behind the wheel of your vehicle if you’ve
been out drinking or are impaired
„Program the number for a taxi service and the
Shipmate phone number into your phone before you
go out
„Call a sober friend, family member to get you
„Stay where you are and sleep it off until you are
sober, not when you feel sober; only time sobers; it
takes about one hour to metabolize each drink.
