Public Transit
Do not drive any vehicle after drinking
Even after a small amount, use public transport, a taxi or designated driver instead.
Travel question: Do not drive any vehicle after drinking
Covered vehicles, administrative penalties, criminal liability and passenger liability depend on circumstances, so one penalty or confiscation rule is too broad.
Why is this rule in place?
Alcohol impairs judgment before you feel it and can cause crashes and serious liability.
What should travelers do?
Plan the trip home before drinking and do not ride with a drinking driver. Call 110 for dangerous driving or a crash and 119 for injury.
