In the 1st semester of 2022 health, we were tasked to plan and design a campaign to inform and spread awareness of driving-related issues to young drivers, as well as provide strategies that can be used to prevent said issues.
The biggest thing I learned while completing this task was how alcohol affects our ability to drive. Drinking has a similar effect to drowsiness in that it hinders our ability to react and focus. The best option for travelling while intoxicated would be to either order a taxi or uber driver, or ask a sober friend to drive you.
The biggest advice I could give to young drivers would be to get another person who is un-influenced by alcohol to drive you to your destination. This is for the safety of yourself and others.
I pledge that as of when I am able to drive, I will commit to the following: Abiding by the road rules and not break the law unless it is a matter of life and death, keep myself and others safe on the road, avoid recklessness when driving, and never drive while drowsy or under the influence of alcohol.
