Many teens aren't aware of the high risk levels of driving while impaired. Many have a drink or two and get behind the wheel, doesn't always end the way they planned. Some are more fortunate and make it to their destination safely. Its a like threatening chance the driver takes.

School-
There is different ways to approach someone who is under the influence. Always try your hardest to keep a friend from driving impaired.

1. Get keys (Direct 1 on 1)
2. Find another driver (relaxed approach)
3. Delay driver (when you have faith and trust this person. When you know them well use this approach)
4. Angle (When person deny's being drunk. Used the word tired instead of drunk or high, say "You like tired would you like me to drive?"
5. Let them go ( NOT WISE!)
Always try another approach if the first one doesn't work.
Sensation seeking can cause you to drink. Sensation seeking can be either positive or negative depends on how you use it. There is other things you can do with your sensation seeking, for instance you can dance, snowboard or scuba dive. When you sensation seeking leads you to drinking things can get bad. Drinking increases risk taking, like drinking and driving. For every teen killed in and accident 100 more suffer from fatal injures.
