Program Benefits
The Sober Driver Program was developed with the participant in mind. The activities and resources are designed in a way to be both engaging and interesting. Over 10,000 participants have completed the program and the feedback received has been very positive.
Research has shown that if you complete the Sober Driver Program, you are much less likely to commit another drink driving offence.
The Sober Driver Program will help you to:
- understand the effects and costs of drink driving to yourself and others;
- understand the events and decisions that led to your offence;
- create and use strategies to avoid offending in the future; and
- develop skills and positive attitudes for safe driving.
The Sober Driver Program has assisted many participants to reduce their risk of returning to the criminal justice system.
Program Delivery
You will be informed of the location, date and time of your program by your Community Corrections officer or by MTS staff.
