Guerrero additionally encourages the general public to not drink and drive and be cautious of different drivers who could also be drunk.
The finest manner to make sure your security is by planning the way you’re getting dwelling forward of time, whether or not or not it’s a rideshare, a sober designated driver, or staying at a good friend’s home.
