Florida Drug and Alcohol Course
Florida used to be one of the highest ranked states related to alcohol crashes and deaths. The state legislature passed the law to create the TLSAE course to educate new drivers on the dangers of driving while impaired. It worked. Florida went from #5 on the list to #35.
Please take this information seriously. We still have a lot of people that drive impaired even with the course. Don’t let that be you.
