Governor's Council on Impaired Driving

Governor's Council on Impaired Driving On September 16, 2011, I signed an Executive Order establishing my Council on Impaired Driving. Sincerely,

Matthew H.

We’re dedicated to ending impaired driving in Wyoming by educating the public about the issues associated with both alcohol and drug impairment, while supporting strategies and programs designed to save lives. Impaired driving has touched thousands of lives reaching every corner of our state. We have taken important steps to curtail impaired driving during the last ten years, but there is more to do. This year, I signed a new law which makes it more difficult for repeat offenders to avoid prosecution. Efforts to stop impaired driving are also benefiting from advancements such as ignition interlock devices, which prevent impaired drivers from starting their vehicles. I created my council on Impaired Driving to continue the fight against impaired driving and to help prevent impaired driving related deaths. The Governor's Council facilitates research, discussion and planning to reduce impaired driving in Wyoming. The Council is tasked with identifying priority issues, developing prevention strategies and tackling other initiatives to address the problem. I believe this Council is necessary to keep all of our citizens safe. Mead

Unfortunately, some parents think it's OK to provide alcohol for teens. Don't do it—it’s illegal. Parents who supply alcohol to any teen—or help any minor possess or consume alcohol—face jail time, loss of a driver's license, and serious fines. Remember, for those under 21, the BAC limit is not .08—it is zero.

Research shows that 22% of teen drivers involved in fatal crashes had been drinking. When talking to your kids, please emphasize the fact that it’s illegal to drink before you’re 21 — and that driving drunk or high is unacceptable at any age.

It’s homecoming season, and while your teen may be worried about finding a date or picking the right outfit, parents often worry about the choices teens face, including the decision to ride with someone who has been drinking. Our advice? Make sure your teen knows they can text or call you for a ride home in an unsafe situation. ❤️

This week is National Teen Driver Safety Week and it’s a great time to remind your teen that underage drinking is illegal, and driving under the influence of any impairing substance could have deadly consequences.

And did you know that your teen might also lose academic eligibility, college acceptance, and scholarship awards if they get a DUI? Talk to your teenager and make sure they know the consequences of driving impaired.

There’s nothing wrong with toasting a successful hunt… after the guns, and the keys to your vehicle, have been put away. Safety comes first.
