Don't let buzzed driving ruin your summer fun!

A new infographic from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) shows how alcohol-related vehicle crashes tend to increase in the summer months.  Get caught driving buzzed this summer and you could lose both your personal and financial freedom. Even having just one too many drinks and driving can have devastating consequences.

The graphic is part of an ongoing public service campaign with the Ad Council to remind drivers that “buzzed driving is drunk driving.”

More info on the campaign is available at:  buzzeddriving.adcouncil.org.
