None for the Road: DWI Awareness Program

Mandatory for first-time driver's licensees between ages 18-24 in the state of New Mexico

---

History of the Program

In 1993, the New Mexico Legislature passed several laws designed to combat the problem of drunk driving in the state. The legal intoxication level was lowered, stiffer penalties and fines for offenders were implemented, and an informational class was instituted and required for first-time licensees in New Mexico. In cooperation with the New Mexico State Highway and Transportation Department Traffic Safety Bureau, the UNM Division of Continuing Education provides the DWI Prevention and Education course, “None for the Road.” This course is designed to focus attention on the serious DWI problem in New Mexico. It informs the driver about driving-while- impaired (DWI) laws and prevention. All first-time licensees in New Mexico, between the ages of 18 and 24 are required to take the awareness class. (This is the legislated age range, effective January 1, 2000.)

The Division of Continuing Education is pleased to work with the State of New Mexico to deliver this class. Experienced in providing coursework and training via various delivery models and throughout the state, the Division possesses the infrastructure necessary to meet the needs of the student/client. The Division strives to effectively contribute to combating the DWI rate in New Mexico.
