In San Antonio, Texas, a white pickup truck driver was

donuts during rush hour traffic. One witness reported that the driver looked
like he was trying to kill anybody. Some employees for a nearby restaurant
caught sight of the incident.

finally waited in his car for police to arrive and arrest him. The driver was

under the influence of prescription narcotics. The driver was charged for

The Dangers of Driving
Under the Influence
Driving under the influence does not just consist of alcohol;
it also consists of prescription drugs. Drugs can be truly detrimental to one’s
brain and cause the same disorienting effects as alcohol. People should not
drive after taking prescription medications that may affect their focus or
cause them to be sleepy. Talk to your doctor about your medications if you are
unsure if they are safe to drive with.
