[ARCHIVED] Buzzed Driving is Drunk Driving

Buzzed Driving

Okay...we know what day it is. We thought about a funny post with pictures of Doritos or maybe Chester Cheetah but we know that impairment can lead to poor decisions and those decisions can lead to tragic consequences.

Buzzed driving is no laughing matter. Be safe today Marshalltown.
