A driver with a BAC level of 0.06 percent has doubled his

or her chance of having a collision. At a BAC level of

0.10 percent, the chance of this driver having a collision

is 12 times greater; at a level of 0.15 percent, the chance

is 25 times greater!

The body takes about an hour to rid itself of the alcohol

in one drink. No amount of coffee or number of cold

showers will speed that up. “I will be careful” is not the

right answer. What if there is an emergency, a need

to take sudden action, as when a child darts into

the street? A person with even a moderate BAC might

not be able to react quickly enough to avoid the

collision.

There is something else about drinking and driving that

many people do not know. Medical research shows

that alcohol in a person’s system can make crash

injuries worse, especially injuries to the brain, spinal

cord, or heart. This means that when anyone who has

been drinking — driver or passenger — is in a crash,

that person’s chance of being killed or permanently

disabled is higher than if the person had not been

drinking.

{CAUTION:

Drinking and then driving is very dangerous.

Your reﬂexes, perceptions, attentiveness, and

judgment can be affected by even a small

amount of alcohol. You can have a serious — or

even fatal — collision if you drive after drinking.

Please do not drink and drive or ride with a

driver who has been drinking. Ride home in a

cab; or if you are with a group, designate a

driver who will not drink.

Control of a Vehicle

You have three systems that make your vehicle go where

you want it to go. They are the brakes, the steering, and

the accelerator. All three systems have to do their work at

the places where the tires meet the road.

Sometimes, as when you are driving on snow or ice, it is

easy to ask more of those control systems than the tires

and road can provide. That means you can lose control of

your vehicle. See StabiliTrak

System on page 4-9.

Adding non-GM accessories can affect your vehicle’s

performance. See Accessories and Modiﬁcations on

page 5-3.
