alcohol and speed
Speeding, driving under the influence of alcohol, the irresponsible use of cell phones and recklessness are conditioning factors for the occurrence of accidents in the country. 90% of vehicle accidents can be prevented if we drive prudently.
The main recommendations are not to drive while intoxicated, respect speed limits, avoid driving at night and have driver’s education. Driving sober allows you to have a level of alertness and immediate response to any situation.
