Initials: driving and impairment
Initials: you can be considered to be driving even if the vehicle's engine is not running and the vehicle is stationary; any alcohol, marijuana, drugs and many prescription medications can impair your ability to drive; if you drive while impaired by any substance, you violate the law.
You cannot judge your level of impairment simply by the way you feel. You can still be impaired the morning following consumption. Alcoholic beverages vary in size and strength, and you cannot judge your level of impairment simply by counting the number of drinks you have had.
The first ability that is impaired by alcohol is the ability to make appropriate choices.
Choices, treatment and ignition interlock
Your choices regarding driving after consuming alcohol or drugs have caused you to lose your driving privileges, and you have taken steps to ensure that you will not be in the position to make this choice again. The best practice is to completely separate your consumption of alcohol and/or drugs from driving, and you can always make the choice not to drive.
If you choose to drive impaired again, even if no one is harmed, you will be deemed to be a Persistent Drunk Driver, have to complete an extensive and expensive course of alcohol and/or drug treatment, and have the ignition interlock restricted driving privilege for at least 2 years.
Signature and date
Under SIGN, enter your Signature and the Date (MM/DD/YY).
