Hikari

If I'm just a little tired or had one drink, being extra careful should be fine, right?

Momoka

Nope, that's false! Even if you're super careful, you must not ride when you've been drinking or are extremely tired—no exceptions.

Hikari

Wow, they're really strict about that!

Momoka

Absolutely! Your reaction time and judgment suffer even if you feel okay. Safety first means don't ride at all!
