Staying Safe on the Road: The Dangers of Impaired Driving

This incident is a sobering reminder of the dangers of driving under the influence. Impaired driving endangers not only the driver but also innocent passengers, other motorists, and pedestrians. Even when injuries are minor, the emotional and financial impact can be significant. Make sure to plan ahead, if you’ve been drinking, choose a designated driver, use a rideshare service, or take public transportation. As a community, staying vigilant and reporting suspected impaired drivers can help prevent avoidable tragedies and make Sacramento’s roads safer for all.
