DWI Education: None for the Road

Mandatory for first-time driver's licensees in the state of New Mexico

History of the Program

In 1993, the New Mexico Legislature passed several laws designed to combat the problem of drunk driving in the state. The legal intoxication level was lowered, stiffer penalties and fines for offenders were implemented, and an informational class was instituted and required for first-time licensees in New Mexico. In cooperation with the New Mexico State Highway and Transportation Department Traffic Safety Bureau, the UNM Division of Continuing Education provides the DWI Prevention and Education course, “None for the Road.” This course is designed to focus attention on the serious DWI problem in New Mexico. It informs the driver about driving-while- impaired (DWI) laws and prevention. All first-time licensees in New Mexico, between the ages of 18 and 24 are required to take the awareness class. (This is the legislated age range, effective January 1, 2000.)
