Most people recognize that a drivers licence is a privilege to be valued and protected. There are some, however, who seem indifferent to whether their conduct could cause them to lose this privilege. There are two main ways you can lose your drivers licence: The fast way, and the slow way. The fast way is simple. You need only break impaired driving laws. A conviction for impaired driving, whether the impairment is from drugs or alcohol, will cause you to lose your drivers licence. Your choice of vehicle doesn't matter. If your judgment is impaired while operating a boat or a snowmobile, the penalty is the same as if you were driving a car. The slow way is also effective. Simply make bad driving decisions. Once you accumulate 15 demerit points, you will lose your licence for 30 days.  Do it for a second time, and you can lose your licence for up to two years. And the loss of your licence may be the least of your problems. If your impairment or bad driving causes serious injury or death, you may be facing imprisonment and the loss of everything you own. Drive Alive reminds you that driving is a privilege.  Don't lose it.
