It’s 9PM on a Friday Night
And a couple of beers with a couple of friends
sounds pretty good
ONE beer.
And another beer.
And another beer.
You decide, you’re gonna drive.
It’s not your BEST idea...
You think it’s under control
But you have no clue…
When the lights turn red…
You try to SLAM the BRAKES
And you lose control of your car.
Guess it’s too late to think twice?
Your car is a wreck
And someone, somewhere lost a loved one
You probably won’tsurvive your crash
Is a BEER worth THIS?

Scare off possible drunk drivers.
Making it more effective.
Toughened Laws1st Time offenders –
