1. What is the only medically proven method of removing alcohol or other drug combinations from your system?

Breathe in some fresh air.

Give your body time.

3. If you drive more slowly than the flow of traffic, you will most likely:

Interfere with traffic and receive a ticket.

Improve traffic flow.

Demonstrate defensive driving techniques.

Permitted from the side next to the solid yellow line.

Not permitted from either direction.

Buckle your safety belt.
