SAVE A
FRIEND'S LIFE
In the time it takes to drive
your friend home you could save
his life.
If your tnend's been drinking
too much he shouldn't be driving.
The automobile crash is the
number one cause of death of people
your age. And the ironic thing is
that the drunk drivers responsible
for killing young people arc most
often other young people.
Taketcn minutes. Oi twenty.
Or an hour. Drive your friend
home. That's all. If you can't do
that call a cab. Or let him sleep
on your couch
We're not asking you to be
a doctor or a cop Just a friend.
