Safety Reminder
Police remind the public that driving under the influence of alcohol poses a serious threat to the lives and health of both drivers and other road users. Alcohol impairs concentration, slows reaction time, disrupts situational assessment, and increases risk-taking behavior. Even small amounts of alcohol can significantly affect driving ability, and authorities urge everyone to be responsible, cautious, and strictly follow traffic regulations.
