The Berkeley Police Department reminds the public that alcohol is not the only substance that impairs. Marijuana, prescription drugs, and over-the-counter medications can all affect your ability to drive safely. Do your research and understand the potential side effects of certain drugs.
“When it comes to getting to and from places safely, we’re all on the same team,” Sergeant Frankel said. “The choice is simple: Don’t drive impaired.”
