- DMV Approved: NYS Drinking Driver Program
- You have probably heard the facts before - driving while impaired or intoxicated is a serious traffic safety problem in the United States. In New York State, more than 20 percent of all highway deaths involve the use of alcohol or other drugs. But the facts and statistics do not tell the whole story. Behind the numbers are thousands of lives cut short, permanent or disabling injuries, and families devastated because someone drove while under the influence of alcohol or other drugs. Not every impaired or intoxicated driver causes a traffic crash, but each one is dangerous, risking his or her life and the lives of those sharing the road. Rockland Community College has been providing the NYS Drinking Driver Program since 1977. The program is part of New York State's effort to reduce the personal and property losses caused by drivers under the influence of alcohol and/or other drugs. The DDP helps participants learn to make appropriate decisions for the future.
