Alcohol & drugs stay in your system for far longer than most people realise. The effects last for hours, slowing your reaction time by 25% making a huge difference to your stopping time. Never drink and drive. #ItsNotWorthTheRisk #Fatal4 #NoneTheRoad #ThamesValleyRP @tvprp

Alcohol can affect you differently each time you drink. Even if you feel fine, you could be over the limit. If you’re driving, stick to 0% and stay 100% safe. #DrinkALittleRiskALot #ItsNotWorthTheRisk #Fatal4 @THINKgovuk

Even if you're in a rush, there's no excuse for speeding. It contributes to 1 in 5 fatal crashes in the UK. Better to arrive late than not at all. Slower traffic=safer roads. brnw.ch/21wUrxI No Need to Speed #ItsNotWorthTheRisk #SlowDownSaveLives #Fatal4 #Speed

If you think coffee will sober you up after you've had a few drinks, think again. Coffee is a stimulant while alcohol is a depressant, so a coffee may make you feel more alert but you'll still have the same amount of alcohol in your system. #ItsNotWorthTheRisk #Fatal4
