Impaired driving is a growing problem on our roads. While driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol is illegal in all 50 states, 28% of all traffic-related deaths are due to alcohol-impaired crashes. Drugs other than alcohol account for another 16% of motor vehicles crashes.Use of marijuana, prescription drugs and alcohol is on the rise, and The Maine Bureau of Highway Safety and AAA are committed to raising awareness and fostering a dialogue that will promote safe driving habits.
The Maine Bureau of Highway Safety and AAA Northern New England invite you to attend the 2020 Maine Impaired Driving Summit. With impaired driving crashes and fatalities on the rise we are bringing together national experts from law enforcement, prosecution, pharmacology, and traffic safety researchers to discuss and share their expertise on impaired driving. Presentations include former Idaho law enforcement officer Jermaine Galloway “The Tall Cop” with his “High in Plain Sight” training, complete with visuals and physical props to show the prevalence of drugs and drug paraphernalia, and how drugs have become integrated in to modern culture as well as Romana Lavalas from the National Traffic Law Center who’ll cover masking CDL offenses.

Location: University of Maine Orono
