1. Driver Education Impaired Driving Survey Results Survey completed in November 2014 Results published in May 2015 1

2. A survey was completed with Wisconsin driver’s education (DE) instructors to explore the current coverage of impaired driving materials within their DE curriculums. This survey was sponsored by the Wisconsin Intoxicated Driver Program (IDP) Advisory Committee – Prevention Workgroup. Thank you to all those who participated. The results listed here are based solely on responses of the 89 individuals who participated in the survey. The survey was not tested for its validity nor reliability and did not use a pure random sampling technique. Thus, there could be inherent biases as a result of the open survey format. However, this survey provides a good start for learning about what is currently being taught in DE regarding impaired driving, and to determine how the Prevention Workgroup may be able to help DE instructors in their quest to provide the highest quality, most engaging instruction on impaired driving. 2

3. How Many Hours of Classroom Instructional Hours Does Your Program Provide? 96% of the programs are less than 40 hours of instruction. 77% of programs provide the minimum 30 hours required to be approved. NOTE: New national standards (if adopted) likely will encourage a minimum of 45 hours. 3

17. Sample of Comments From Respondents “We need updated videos about drugs and alcohol for these kids to get the message.” “We need specific true examples of how lives have been destroyed by drugs or alcohol.” “When alcohol use is made so attractive in the media, no school or parent can do much, to be honest.” “Impaired driving is more than just alcohol and other drugs! We cover the alcohol and drugs and their effects on driving, but distracted driving is a much bigger problem.” “I would like specific true examples of DWI and other causes of crashes and the penalties.” “We are ALWAYS looking for engaging and updated materials to try to help our students make good choices. We REALLY appreciate that this is being seriously looked into. THANK YOU!!!” 17
