are important factors in helping to
control a vehicle while driving.
Death and injury associated with
drinking and driving is a global
tragedy.
Warning
Drinking and then driving is very
dangerous. Your reflexes,
perceptions, attentiveness, and
judgment can be affected by even
a small amount of alcohol...
Braking action involves perception
time and reaction time. Deciding to
push the brake pedal is perception
time. Actually doing it is
reaction time...

warning. The engine could catch
fire and you or others could be
burned...

to come out at high speed and
you could be burned. Never turn
the cap when the cooling system,
including the pressure cap, is hot...
