This class was very informative & helpful. It gave great insight on how I was thinking & how to avoid another DUI by not giving into peer pressure.

Very educational and enlightening.

This is great, because I live in Tennessee & they don't offer a 10-hour DUI class here.

Your program was very helpful in identifying the effects that alcohol can have on someone who not only drinks but decides to get behind the wheel after drinking.

male student, age 30

Lesson learned.

male student, age 48

I actually learned quite a bit. It's a great way to learn about the affects of alcohol on a person & their family. The interactiveness & Q&A sections are really key in making the person evaluate their life & their involvement in alcohol.

male student

The whole DUI experience has been, yes miserable, but enlightening. I have a better understanding about who I am when I'm around alcohol & what it does to me & my body. Thanks.

male student,age 30

I actually learned quite a bit & retained that knowledge. Good format & interesting examples. I now educate others on the risks of drinking with true facts.

male student, age 30

I really learned a lot intellectually but more importantly, steps to help me separate drinking & driving. I found the course to be very informative & interesting. I have passed interesting info on to friends.

More than half of people who were killed or seriously injured in a road crash tested positive for one or more drugs according to a new study released in December.

In the report “Alcohol and Drug Prevalence Among Seriously or Fatally Injured Road Users,” the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, specifies “the most prevalent drug category among all road users in the study sample was cannabinoids (active THC) with 25.1% positive, followed by alcohol at 23.1%, stimulants at 10.8%, and opioids at 9.3%.”

Users must learn to identify the risks to change their behavior … and save lives.
