Local volunteer offers free driving experience to curb impaired driving at community events
Summary
Rusty Clevenger told the Chesnee council he will provide a free driving experience for events to help prevent impaired driving; City Hall will distribute information to the public.
At the Jan. 12 Chesnee City Council meeting, community member Rusty Clevenger offered a free driving experience for events aimed at preventing impaired driving, and the city indicated it will make information available at City Hall.
Clevenger’s announcement was made during the administrator and department reports; no formal action or funding request accompanied the offer. Council members discussed the hospitality event calendar elsewhere in the meeting but did not vote on incorporating the driving experience into city-run events during the session.
Why it matters: volunteer-led safety demonstrations can augment local prevention efforts, but details such as scheduling, insurance, and safety oversight were not discussed on the record. City staff will need to coordinate with the volunteer and ensure compliance with any applicable regulations before the program is used at public events.
What’s next: city staff to post information at City Hall and follow up as needed to address logistics and legal requirements.
