Impaired Driving Incidents

In Canada

Impaired driving Is one of Canadas leading causes of car accidents. Driving

under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol could result in very serious injuries
to yourself and others, or could potentially even result in a death. Although it
seems as if nothing is being done to change the irresponsibility of these
impaired drivers, the amount of car accidents annually have been decreased
substantially. The project you are about to observe will show you just how
much impaired driving accidents have decreased over a period of 20 years.
Lets take a look!

My prediction is that by 2021 we will be at

less than 200,000 car accidents in Canada.
Thank you to MADD Canada who do so much
for the families who have lost loved ones
from these tragic accidents, and thank you to
the other groups who do community
volunteering as well!
Thank you for looking at this presentation
and remember to not drink and drive
