Never Drive Impaired

Drugs and alcohol have real effects on your body. Driving under the influence (DUI) inhibits your ability to drive safely. Alcoholic beverages, controlled substances, prescriptions, or over-the-counter medications can cause impairment. Driving impaired puts you and everyone else on the road in danger.

Be Accountable on the Road

Law enforcement officers are trained to spot the signs of impaired driving. They are constantly monitoring roadways to keep everyone safe on the roads, but it is also every driver’s responsibility to do their part. If you have consumed any alcohol or drugs, you need to ask yourself, “Am I okay to drive?”.

The 5 Signs of Impairment

Under the influence of alcohol and drugs, drivers can experience:

• Difficulty perceiving time and distance
• A slowed reaction time
• Limited short-term memory functions
• Decreased hand-eye coordination
• Weakened concentration

Penalties for Driving Impaired

For any DUI conviction, your driver license will be revoked for a minimum of 180 days. If you refuse to take a required roadside test at the time of arrest, your license will be automatically suspended for one year.
Fines for DUI can range from $500 to $5000 with mandatory DUI school education.

DUI convictions must remain on your record for 75 years.
