DON’T DRINK WHILE DRIVING…..YOU MIGHT SPILL YOUR BEER How do you know when you are too drunk
to drive? When you swerve to miss a tree….and
then realize it was your air-freshener. “Alcohol clouds judgment, leaving a
trail of destruction behind.” “The party may end, but the consequences of drunk
driving can last a lifetime.” “Think before you drink and drive, because there
is no rewind button in life.” “Drunk driving is a foot on the accelerator
and a hand on the trigger.” Never even think about driving a car if
you have taken a drop. It's much worse to see a woman drunk than a man: I don't
know quite why this is true, but it just is. Don't ever be responsible for it.
If you drink, don't drive. Drive sober or get pulled over. You can face charges if your blood
alcohol concentration is 0.08 or more, or if you are in the warn range (blood
alcohol concentration between 0.05 and 0.079). Under Ontario's zero tolerance
law for young, novice and commercial drivers, you cannot have any alcohol in
your system if you are: age 21 or under. Lot of teens try to say no to
alcoholic, but it just doesn't listen. Teenagers often dabble in the world of
alcohol experimentation—it’s practically a rite of passage. They sip and sample
for a variety of reasons: curiosity, chasing that elusive feel-good vibe,
stress relief, and to unwind. Studies reveal that when facing relationship
turbulence, more teens turn to the bottle, reasoning, "If I don’t knock one
back, how will my sweetheart know I'm thinking of them at 2 AM? "A peer advice - Don’t drink
to forget someone. You’ll end up seeing double. Drinking alcohol is like
pouring gasoline on your anxiety. Alright, buckle up for this crash
course on alcohol's journey through your system! When you sip that drink,
alcohol zooms straight into action, hitting your stomach and small intestine
walls like it's late for a party. From there, it jumps into your bloodstream,
partying it up until your liver decides it's time to break things down. Ever
wonder how they measure your buzz? They use the amount of alcohol floating
around in your blood to figure out your alcohol level. It's like math class,
but with a twist! “The driver on the highway is safe not when he reads
the signs, but when he obeys them.” What is the cause if drunk driving? -
Ever wondered why some folks decide to play race car driver after a few drinks?
Well, turns out, sometimes they're just blissfully unaware that they're as
sloshed as a wet sponge! Alcohol crashes into your central nervous system like
a wrecking ball, messing with your brain's ability to chat with itself
properly. So next time you see someone trying to drive like Mario Kart after a
few brewskis, blame it on the booze messing with their brain's Wi-Fi signal! You
know for sure you are Drunk if your GPS Says “After 300 feet, stop and let me
out” Hard to believe - Annually: We estimate
between 1,250 and 1,500 people are killed and more than 63,000 are injured each
year in Canada in impairment-related crashes. Getting caught driving under the
influence (DUI) in Canada is no joke—it's like a choose-your-own-adventure
felony! Depending on how bad they think you messed up, the Crown Attorney might
decide to go full blockbuster movie (indictment) or just a little TV special
(summary offense). Either way, it's not a script you want to be writing
yourself!. It takes 24,637 BOLTS to put a car together, but only one NUT
to spread it all over the road. Alright, let's get real for a
moment—when the cops pull you over and start talking breath samples, it's not
just a casual chat. Legally speaking, you're expected to blow into that little
machine whether you're on the side of the road, at the station, or even in a
hospital. Refusing? Not the smartest move, because that's a fast track to a
serious criminal offense. And here's
the kicker: when it comes to mixing booze and driving, remember, trees have a
solid defense strategy—they don't move! Guess what? If you've got a DUI in your
rearview mirror, Canada might give you the cold shoulder for a good decade
after you finish your slap-on-the-wrist. But fear not! You can turn your life
around faster than a game of Pictionary with a well-timed Criminal
Rehabilitation application. Once you clear that inadmissibility hurdle, who
knows? You might just find yourself eying maple syrup as a permanent resident
in the Great White North! IT’S A SERIOUS/CRIMINAL OFFENCE AND
THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES: If a tipsy driver manages to dodge causing harm or
death in a car crash, they still face a hefty load of consequences. It's not
just the potential physical injuries—they might end up with an emotional
hangover that's harder to shake than a pounding headache. But let's not forget
the health risks either; driving under the influence can lead to some seriously
bad outcomes. We're talking paralysis, disfigurement, brain mishaps, and
worst-case scenario, the big sleep. “Drunkenness is
nothing but voluntary madness.” Cop to the Driver “Please step out of the car.” Driver, “I’m too drunk, you get in.” The drowsiness caused by alcohol
affects a driver's ability to coordinate and make decisions. Even simple
driving skills like avoiding an accident or changing lanes quickly and
decisively are impossible for a motorist under the influence. Drunk drivers put
everyone on the road at danger and raise the possibility of fatal car crashes. Not only does impaired driving impact
those in cars. Drunk boaters, jet skiers, and bikers are all susceptible to
mishaps and injuries. A Lady police officer stops a gentleman for DUI –
the man replied “I may be drunk, Miss, but in the morning, I will be sober, and
you will still be ugly. Guess What – He was put in a jail.
Seriously…” You are not just taking a risk when you drink and drive, you are
taking lives.” Drunk driving may be the symptom
of an alcohol addiction. Continuing to drink in spite of a DUI conviction or a
stint in jail is often a telltale sign of addiction. If you or someone you care
about is battling an alcohol addiction, seek help. Inpatient and outpatient treatment
programs are available across the country. Contact a treatment provider to find
available treatment options. Road safety is no accident. Take control of your freedom and future - Alcohol turns you
