Drunk driving causes more deaths,
injuries and destruction than all
murders, muggers, rapists and
robberies combined.
Drunk driving costs society tens of
millions of dollars
annually in court
costs,
rehabilitation, lost
earnings, health
care and social
programs each
year. This money
comes directly out of
your pocket in taxes and
lost revenue.
Every 4 hours, someone is
killed by an impaired driver. Every
20 minutes someone, somewhere in
Canada falls victim to an impaired
driver and every year almost 50% of all
traffic collisions involve alcohol.

WHAT
CAN I
PERSONALLY
DO TO
REDUCE THESE
STATISTICS?
* "SET AN EXAMPLE
FOR OTHERS".
* Be a "DESIGNATED
DRIVER" (Remember
impairment starts with the first drink.)
* Use "OPERATION LOOKOUT"
to report Impaired drivers
* Promote "ZERO ALCOHOL DRIVING".
* Be a "RESPONSIBLE PARTY HOST".
The end-result of drinking and driving can
devastate you — physically, emotionally and
financially. The consequences are serious, yet it is
one of the most avoidable crimes in the Criminal
Code. Avoidable because all you have to do is
make sure you never get behind the
wheel of a car after you've been
drinking. If you've been
drinking, there are many
alternatives to driving.
Options include
calling a cab,
calling a
friend,
taking
public
transit, or
staying
overnight.
