GMC Terrain: Driving Information / Drunk 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. You
can have a serious — or even
fatal — collision if you drive after
drinking.
Do not drink and drive or ride with
a driver who has been drinking.
Ride home in a cab; or if you are
with a group, designate a driver
who will not drink.
Defensive driving means “always
expect the unexpected.” The first
step in driving defensively is to wear
the seat belt. See Seat Belts.
Assume that other road users
(pedestrians, bicyclists, and
other drivers) are going to be
careless and make mistakes...
Braking, steering, and accelerating
are important factors in helping to
control a vehicle while driving...
