STEP 3: THE DECISION
Well you've made it this far so obviously you are willing to make an
effort only one step left...
THE DECISION
The third step in preventing drinking and driving is the hardest. This step
takes dedication, responsibility and passion. You are about to make a decision
that will change the rest of your life. You have learned about some of the
dangers involved with drinking and driving and you have learned some
alternatives, but now its time to use that information.
3 out of every 10 people in the United States will be directly involved in an
alcohol involved crash at some point in their life. Today 45 people in the
United States lost their life because someone didn't make the right decision.
  
So what is this decision?
You need to decide right here, right now if you're going to drink and drive.
It might sound like an easy decision but its not. If you decide to never drink
and drive it will increase your odds of survival and everyone's around you
greatly, but before you think its easy let me explain what this decision means.
By deciding to never drive while intoxicated your are making a promise to
yourself, your friends, your family and people you've never even met. You are
making a commitment that will not be easy to keep. If you decide to never drink
and drive you have to make plans and prepare yourself for the future. There will
always be people that don't understand your decision. They will temp you to
drive. They will try to convince you that its not that serious. They will tell
you to have fun. You will be placing yourself in an up hill battle that you will
be fighting for the rest of your life. If you stay committed and you keep
fighting that battle you will see victory. Your friends that would have died,
will not. Your family that would have had to live without you, will not. If you
drink and drive you will probably make it for a little longer but you will never
know when your last drunken drive will be. It might be tomorrow or it might be
10 years from now. If you make this decision right now, you will know when your
last time driving drunk will be. It will never happen again.
So have you made up your mind? Are you ready to make this commitment to
yourself, your family and your friends? Are you ready to live a responsible and
safe life? If you are then keep reading and fill out the form below. It will be
