But for some people it can end in tragedy because someone takes their cel- ebrations behind the wheel of a vehicle. This is my person request to all the people of Acton and Halton Hills. PLEASE DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE. 1. Designate a driver if you go to a party. 2. Call a taxi or just stay where you are. 3. To avoid temptation, leave your car at home. 4. Use common sense, do not get in a car with a driver that has been drinking. 5. Remember, you are civilly responsible if the person is drinking at your party and has an acci- dent on the way home. You can be sued by any injured person. If someone is leaving your house, get their keys. If they will not give up their keys, call police becuase you are responsible. HAVE A SAFE AND HAPPY NEW YEAR.
