Our Victim Impact Panel provide a forum for victims of DWI to tell a group of offenders about the impact of the crime on their lives and on the lives of their families, friends, and neighbors.
Our panels involve offenders and victim speakers, telling their stories in a non-judgmental, non-blaming manner.
With recreational marijuana legalization in the State of New Mexico, many people have questions about marijuana and cannabis culture. Some may be thinking of trying marijuana for the very first time, while others may be more experienced consumers hoping to expand their marijuana knowledge. However, this often isn’t the case. Marijuana is a psychoactive drug which impacts the brain in several ways, including memory, motor skills, and concentration.
These effects can have significant effects on driving and any other activity requiring attention and motor coordination and it can cause driving a vehicle to become dangerous.
You do not have to Drive While Impaired. Plan Ahead!
There are several options available to you.
The New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) is partnering with the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA) and Uber to offer safe rides to New Mexicans during the holiday season. NMDOT’s Traffic Safety Division received a grant from GHSA to fund the rides through Uber in an effort to stop DWI.
There is no excuse for driving under the influence. Get a safe ride home.
Users will be able to use a $15 Uber credit that does not include tips with the ride code ENDWI2021. Rides will be offered anywhere in New Mexico wherever Uber is available from Tuesday, November 23, 2021, through Friday, January 3, 2022, focusing on Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Eve holidays.
