Drunk Driving is extremely dangerous and not only puts you at risk, but also other innocent people on the road. Drunk driving is selfish and can hurt many. We at Spivey Law Firm Personal Injury Attorneys P.A. want to ensure that you make the right decisions and don’t get behind the wheel if you are impaired. We have added a Drunk Driving Accidents page to our website informing you on the dangers of drunk driving and how Spivey Law Firm helps victims and families after being injured in an accident caused by a drunk driver in Florida. 

We have gathered some tips from the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV), Mother’s Against Drunk Driving (MADD), and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to inform you on the dangers of drunk driving and to help you stay safe from drunk drivers on the roads.

1. Never Drive Under the Influence. Drugs and Alcohol have severe effects on the body which impair you in many ways, which makes driving unsafe. If you feel impaired or feel as if you have too many drinks, do not get behind the wheel regardless of how you may think you feel. 
2. Maintain a Distance from Swerving Vehicles. If you are on the road and see a vehicle swerving throughout lanes, maintain a safe distance and pull over if you can. Although you may not know if they are impaired, you do not know their next move and it is important to stay away from any vehicle driving erratically. Pull off the road safely, if you can, and call 911 to report the vehicle. 
3. Always wear a seatbelt. You should always wear a seatbelt in a vehicle and in the unfortunate chance that you are hit by a drunk driver, your seatbelt may save your life. Accidents happen randomly and you may not know who is driving on the road with you, so it is important to be wearing a seatbelt anytime you are in the car. 
4. Do not interact with an impaired driver on the road. You do not know what kind of mood the driver may be in, and drugs and alcohol can affect your mood, causing the impaired driver to become angry. If you attempt to interact with the impaired driver, even to tell them to pull over, you do not know what they may do, so it is always best to keep your distance and call the police if you are safely able to do so.
