Another year has gone by and still Durham College doesn't have a functioning dcsignalcd driver program. Every attempt to start one here ends in failure. Is it that Durham students care more for a drink than for safety? Is it that the school doesn't advertise a program enough? Is it maybe the DCSAs fault? Where the fault lies doesn't matter. It's the simple fact that we don't have one. The program could potentially save lives, our Courts need to euthanasia lives, explore drinking and driving is a serious problem.
