Connecticut is receiving $11.5 million in federal funds to combat underage drinking.

The state will receive $2.3 million in each of the next five years. It’s one of four states, including Colorado, Illinois and Tennessee, to receive the money from the federal Center for Substance Abuse Prevention.

The money will be spent on community coalitions across the state that will use various prevention techniques to reduce the use of alcohol by teens. The University of Connecticut Health Center will evaluate the effort and track any progress.

Gov. M. Jodi Rell says the state’s prevention efforts are already strong and that this grant represents a reward for Connecticut’s past success.’

This is good news for young drivers or teenagers involved in DUI and intoxication since it will help them reduce the use of alcohol by teen and thus keep your DUI insurance low or qualify you for cheap SR22 car insurance quote. Stop drinking and drunk driving.

Scott: How can you get auto insurance after 2 DWI’s?

Response: Scott, I must really tell you that you are going to have a tough time. You have been caught not once but twice in a drinking and driving situation. You must consult a lawyer for your legal matters and also on obtaining your driving license back and the demerit points.

On the insurance side, you will be required to produce a financial responsibility or to have the SR22. I would advice you to definitely have the SR22 even if it is not required by your State since if you are involved in an accident you will have a grave problem. There are several high points of specialty insurers who will insure you. The cost of insurance will be high. Please go for on-line SR22 quotes and check out your options online.

Secondly get a impaired-ignition lock installed in your car immediately so that you will be prevented from driving once you are intoxicated. This will prevent you from any further trouble and also save property and life damage which might be your own.

Please go for some classes or a rehabilitation home to get out of the habit of drinking so that you are saved from the stress and tensions. I know it is easy to say but difficult to do. But its not impossible like the insurance companies who still offer comparative quotes for DUI/DWI and intoxicated.
