Avoid Dangerous Distractions When Driving

The danger of drinking while driving is well documented, if not always well heeded. Today’s drivers however are functioning under the influence of a host of distractions, and they too can prove deadly.

All of the efforts of car manufacturers to make today’s cars safer are diluted by irresponsible drivers who do not think that maneuvering a heavy vehicle at lethal speed deserves their undivided attention.

Consider, for instance, what now passes for everyday behavior among numerous drivers – activities such as eating or drinking, grooming, applying makeup, texting and speaking on the phone while maneuvering and operating a vehicle are not even considered to be inappropriate!

It takes a few brief seconds to punch in a telephone number, to apply mascara, or to react to pouring hot coffee all over you — just enough to crash your car or take someone’s life.

What price are we willing to pay for fulfilling our little distractions and conveniences?

The Dangers of Drunk Driving and Underage Drinking

At Ambitious Drivers we are part of the nation-wide campaign to combat drunk driving and underage drinking. All our students are educated on how to become responsible community members and are duly warned about the serious consequences of impaired driving.

Impaired driving is the number one criminal cause of death in Canada. The media recounts countless of stories of people who are fatally injured or killed due to alcohol related crashes and yet impaired driving offenses continue to occur.

Despite years of public service announcements about the dangers of driving drunk and active educational programs advocating for sober driving, everyday a large number of people young and old are getting behind the wheel after one too many drinks.

We tell our students that going out drinking and then driving home in an unfit state could change the course of their life. One second they could be on top of the world and another they may have crashed and killed someone.

Recovery from impaired driving may not always be an option. Being arrested for impaired driving is only the beginning of an arduous and costly journey that could be filled with adversity and hardship.
