Rule # 5 of Defensive Driving

5. Don’t Be Impaired

We all have the responsibility to make sure we are able to drive safely whenever we operate our vehicle. Ask yourself, “Am I safe to drive? Am I rested? Am I ill? Have I taken medications that might affect my abilities? Has enough time past since I had that alcoholic drink? Do I have my glasses on, if needed?” Only if you can answer yes to all these questions should you exercise your privilege to drive.
