During Tuesday’s event, District Court representatives encouraged attendees to take a pledge to not drive while impaired from alcohol or drugs
VANCOUVER – Clark County District Court’s DUI Court held an event today, Nov. 26, to kick-off National Impaired Driving Prevention Month which runs through the end of December. During the event, District Court representatives encouraged attendees to take a pledge to not drive while impaired from alcohol or drugs.
The event was held at the courthouse and included presentations from Target Zero and Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD). District Court Administrator Bryan Farrell also read a statement from the Washington Traffic Safety Commission.
AllRise (formerly the National Association of Drug Court Professionals) describes the season between Thanksgiving and News Year’s Day as, “one of the deadliest and most dangerous times on America’s roadways due to an increase in impaired driving.”
The written pledge is on the county’s website. The District Court encourages residents to take the pledge and encourages friends and family to do the same. Participants signing the pledge agree to:
- Protect lives by never drinking and driving or taking drugs that can impair driving.
- Be a good passenger and speak out if someone who is alcohol or drug impaired wants to drive.
- Encourage friends and family to drive alcohol and drug free.
