The National plan of security of the Belgian government is to reduce deceased persons on the road.

The use of alcohol by the drivers takes an important part of the deceased persons.

It does not exist any table to say how many drinks you can drink before to be positive.

Too many factors influence the result ( male or female - sick - tired - use of medicine - nervous - hungry - tall or thin - kind of drinks spirit or beer………)

Alcohol affects your ability to react, greatly increasing your chances of an accident.

 

Do not be caught. Forewarned is forearmed.
