DHS youth participate in drunk driving program
High school students in Desert Hot Springs are getting the opportunity to learn the importance of driving responsibly.
Desert Hot Springs High School is hosting the ” Every 15 Minutes ” program today and tomorrow complete with a simulated car crash and mock trial for drunk drivers.
” There are people who pass away in alcohol-related traffic incidents every day and the idea is to make our students be aware of the consequences of getting into a car with a drunk driver or themselves getting behind the wheel after drinking, ” said DHSHS principal Caroline Cota .
DHSHS has partnered with the Desert Hot Springs Police Department to bring this program to their students.
