A letter was sent to a Registered Owner as per Curb the Danger program.  The Registered Owner (R.O). called April 02 to obtain background information surrounding the circumstances of the incident that caused the letter to be sent. An overview of the incident and the program was provided. The R.O. confessed that her daughter was using the vehicle and the callers’ observations are consistent with her beliefs that her daughter was dealing with life struggles with drugs. The lengthy conversation detailed the consequences of impaired driving, even for drugs and the Drug Recognition processes to add credibility for the pending conversation with her daughter. The R.O. was very appreciative of the program to help with deep discussions concerning the actions of her daughter.
