Driving is an inherently risky activity, and driving while impaired by drugs or alcohol increases the danger on the road for everyone. According to various sources, the number of car accidents in the United States ranges from 5.25 million to 6 million per year. This means that on average, there are between 14,000 to 18,500 car accidents every day, resulting in one accident every four to six minutes. Some of those crashes are fatal. The statistics are scary and we should avoid mixing drugs and the road. If you need help from a recent DUI A-1 Driving Schools is here to help with our DUI School and Risk Reduction class.

As a community, we understand the challenges that come with driving. Sometimes we have to take away car keys from our loved ones, that simply are not safe to drive. However, we can come together to find solutions that not only benefit the elderly but also keep our roads safe. By creating a system that allows anonymous reporting of dangerous driving, we can prevent accidents and ensure the safety of all road users. By doing this we could make the roads a safer space for everyone.

Police say Guillermo Cchochi Senobua, 41, showed no signs of impairment and voluntarily agreed to a blood draw. Senobua was booked into the North Las Vegas Community Correctional Center on charges of involuntary manslaughter and full-time attention to driving after the fact.

According to the North Las Vegas Police Department, while waiting on private property in a line of stopped vehicles to be dropped off at school, the boy exited the rear driver’s side door of a vehicle and ran across the driveway. He was taken to UMC Trauma Center, where he was initially listed in serious condition but was later pronounced dead.
This is extremely sad, and hope the family of the young boy gets justice. No one should have to worry about their children getting hit by a car while going to school. As of now, this isn’t a DUI. He was reported to not be impaired. That means he either purposely hit the child or was distracted when he hit him. Either or is not a good reason for the loss of this poor child’s life. Senobua doesn’t need DUI school. He needs a driver’s education, and so do many others. If you need driver’s education A-1 is here to help.

In Pennsylvania, a man was arrested for driving a farm vehicle while under the influence of alcohol. He caused a collision with a Toyota RAV4 and then fled the scene. However, he was eventually caught, processed, and released. Shockingly, he was caught again driving the same vehicle on the road just 17 minutes later and was consequently arrested for a second DUI offense. Luckily, no one, including a 2-year-old passenger inside the RAV4, was injured in the crash.
