Thank you to our partners in prevention from CoRR (Community Recovery Resources) for helping to keep our roadways and families safe this holiday season. CoRR, the leading DUI services provider in Nevada County and Placer County, is teaming up with the owners of Gold Country Cab & Courier in Nevada County and Donald’s Taxi Service in Placer County to provide free rides to local residents to reduce the amount of impaired drivers on the roads this New Year's Eve! Please spread the word and help us keep our communities safe.
"December is National Drunk and Drugged Driving Prevention Month, a time to raise awareness about the consequences of driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs. During the holiday season, and year round, it is important that we celebrate safely by not driving under the influence of alcohol or any other drugs. We are all familiar with the terrible consequences of driving under the influence yet an often overlooked and ever growing issue, especially in teens and young adults, is the issue of drugged driving. Drugs, even those prescribed by a physician, can impair perception, judgment, motor skills, and memory. New and young drivers are the most at-risk for crashes on the roads and are at risk for the most harmful effects of drug use. As teens take to the roads, parents can take action by talking about the dangers of drunk, drugged, and distracted driving. It’s important that our youngest drivers learn how to drive safely and make healthy choices."
