Impaired Driving

Driving while drinking or impaired driving threatens not just your teen and their passengers, but others on the road as well.

Watch this brief video (3:09) to learn about a young driver’s high risk of crash due to impairment from alcohol or drugs. Drinking any amount of alcohol before driving increases crash risk among teen drivers, a much higher risk than older drivers at the same blood alcohol concentration even at levels below the legal limit for adults.

Recommendation

Ban you teen from driving after using alcohol or other substances and from riding with anyone who has used alcohol or other substances.
