It is your best defense against an impaired driver. § While traveling to and from celebrations on your motorcycle, remember to make yourself visible and ride your motorcycle where you can be seen to avoid a crash. § And remember, Friends Don’t Let Friends Drive Drunk. If you know someone who is about to drive or ride while impaired, take their keys and help them make other arrangements to get to where they are going safely. Buzzed Driving is Drunk Driving · Don’t let this Fourth of July blow up in your face! Remember *Buzzed Driving is Drunk Driving. Designate a sober driver before the celebrations begin.
