Collective Empowerment With Drugs And Alcohol Course

By Karen Evans


Young people in their late teens are often eager for independence. A form of this independence can sometimes come in the form of an owning your own set of wheels. In order for you to do that, you first have to obtain your driver s license and this is by no means an easy task. A lot of people struggle with getting their driver s license, and in the state of Connecticut, this process is even made longer by prospective drivers having to attend a mandatory 8-hours drugs and alcohol course, a way to achieve collective empowerment.

Even though it s been proven that people under the influence are more at risk of an accident, people still drink and drive putting everyone at risk. Liquor as known can hinder the balance of chemicals your system and end creating temporary effects like blurry vision and loss of balance. This can lead to things like falling asleep while behind the wheel. Alcohol has a lot of unhealthy effects and can even make people hallucinate.

This is why it s important that people complete this course before they are allowed to get their license. It s not that everyone is suddenly going to adhere to the rules. Reaching just one individual could make a huge difference in other people s lives and your life. It s important to keep teaching this as more and more people are becoming more educated.

These films and documentaries look to portray real-life stories, highlighting the possible fall out of driving while under the influence. Drivers who get behind the wheel while under the influence, pose such a massive threat to not only themselves, but also to other drivers on the road and pedestrians who might be using the road.

These consequences can affect you, as the driver, throughout the rest of your life. It is even more misfortunate when victims of your actions are affected throughout their lives by this lapse in judgment As this can not only result in jail time for you, but the loss of life for innocent law-abiding drivers, who had the misfortune of sharing the road with you, the intoxicated driver.

The purpose of this course is to ensure that prospective drivers understand the responsibility that comes with operating a vehicle and the dangers that are posed by driving while under the influence. In order for people to enroll for this course, they need to bring with them their birth certificate, passport, permanent resident card, their ID photo or learners permit, and the payment for the lesson. It is also possible to pay online and those who choose this option will need to bring their documentation on the day of the lesson.

In order to complete this class, you will need to attend once, for the specified amount of time. Looking online will yield a number of different places you can go to in order to take this class. On the different websites, you will find that the dates and times of upcoming classes are listed. This will allow you to pick a class that best suits you and your busy schedule.

It may just be a couple of hours in a class but it s important to concentrate and absorb as much as you can.
