Alive at 25 (Aired on AM on Jan. 17, 2014)

Elian Trumpetto, Executive Director of the Council on Addiction Prevention of Dutchess County, and Mike Hill director of the Drinking Driver Program at Dutchess Community College, discuss the program “Alive at 25,” which is sponsored by the National Safety Council. Alive at 25 is a 4-hour educational program aimed at 16- to 24-year-olds to heighten their awareness of the hazards of driving drunk, drugged, or distracted. New York State has rules for young drivers about who the other occupants of a car may be, since research has shown that other young people are a principle distraction.
