This memorable video features the true story of Mike Poveromo, a young man who killed his two best friends in a drunk driving car crash when he was a teenager. Today, Mike tours the nation's high schools to share his story, and to warn students never to drink and drive. In addition to interview segments that recount Mike's dramatic story, viewers will also hear from law enforcement officers who explain the legal risks involved in drinking and driving, including harsh jail sentences for those convicted of driving under the influence (DUI). Viewers will also hear from emergency room physicians who describe the traumas and deaths they have seen as a result of drunk driving. Teens will also hear from parents and family members who have been left devastated by the loss of a child as a result of drunk driving. In addition, Confronting Drunk Driving offers important tips for how to avoid being a passenger in a car driven by an intoxicated driver. Teacher's Resource Book offers many useful and thought-provoking worksheets for classroom use.
