Residents of Riverside County are calling for the resignation of a school board president who was arrested on suspicion of DUI for the second time. At a recent meeting, a parent expressed disappointment in the president’s repeated mistakes and demanded accountability. In the past, the president has been known to use profanity during public meetings, causing concern among parents. His recent DUI arrest has only intensified calls for his removal from the board. The incident reportedly occurred when the president hit a parked car while driving under the influence. When confronted about the incident, he referred to it as a personal matter and did not indicate any intention to resign. However, some board members have called for his resignation, citing a violation of the board’s bylaws and a failure to set a positive example for children.

It’s great to see that the parents won’t shirk accountability for their child’s actions. It’s important to recognize that our actions have an impact on others, and to take responsibility for them. The child should apologize to those affected, because although it is a personal matter, people have a right to know who is making decisions for their children. If you or a loved one is in need of a driving school that can help you through DUI school A-1 Driving Schools is more than glad to help!

Great news! According to a recent report from a non-profit coalition of highway safety offices, the rates of fatal traffic collisions involving drivers under the age of 21 have significantly decreased. In fact, the most at-risk demographic is now 38% less likely to be involved in a fatal collision, and 45% less likely to be the victim of a fatal collision.

However, we know that young drivers are still seen as the riskiest group behind the wheel, but let’s not forget that they are still learning and growing. The report suggests that education and staggered privileges have been key factors that have contributed to the decline in fatal collisions, and we can continue to improve upon these measures. If you need assistance with learning how to drive safely call A-1, we’re happy to help!

Let’s celebrate this positive change and keep working together to make our roads safer for everyone!

Maryland football coach Kevin Sumlin was arrested on suspicion of DUI in Florida. He refused a breathalyzer test and was released on bond. Sumlin, who previously coached at Houston, Texas A&M, and Arizona, serves as Maryland’s co-offensive coordinator, tight ends coach, and associate head coach. Head coach Michael Locksley expressed support for Sumlin but did not specify the punishment. The DUI charge carries a $1,000 fine and a six-month jail sentence.
Fortunately, there were no casualties in the incident that occurred, and we are grateful for that. However, we are deeply concerned about the coach’s behavior of driving under the influence of alcohol. This is a serious offense that could have resulted in a tragedy. We urge all drivers to never drive under the influence of any substance and seek help if they struggle with addiction. We hope that the coach receives the necessary assistance to overcome this problem. If you or a loved one needs help with a DUI just reach out to A-1 Driving Schools, and we can help you!
