December is National Impaired Driving Prevention Month to raise awareness about the dangers on impaired driving and encouraging people to drive sober, shares Eagle View Community Health Worker and Marketing Director Sabrina Wilson:

“People automatically think it is from drinking, well no, impaired driving can be drugs too, it doesn’t just have to be alcohol. At Eagle View, we are doing DUI evaluations. Just remember, plan ahead, have a driver, make sure you are talking to your kids about it because they may not understand that it is not just alcohol, that drugs can impair you also. Whether it be a prescribed medicine by a physician, you have to make sure you are really paying attention to all that and communicating with your friends, family, and kids.”

Plan ahead, call for a ride, drive only when sober, and remind friends and loved ones to do the same.
