Impaired Driving Impact Panel of Island County offers free educational seminars on alcohol and drug impairment for businesses, agencies, schools, organizations, military commands.

People will be amazed at what they don’t know, and what everyone should know about impaired driving. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration notes that 2 of every 5 people will be in a DUI crash in their lifetime.

Learn what can be done to lessen the chance of being affected by impaired driving because unfortunately everyone is at risk and ignoring the risk doesn’t keep it from happening.

These seminars last 30, 45 or 60 minutes, so there is one to fit every schedule. The cost of providing these seminars is funded by impact panel user fees.
