Picture a nation without drunk driving. MADD’s Campaign to Eliminate Drunk Driving is a bold initiative with the ambitious, but attainable, goal of eliminating drunk driving once and for all through the programs outlined below.
- High-visibility drunk driving crackdowns
- Labor Day
- December holidays
- Sobriety checkpoints
- Saturation patrols
- Sustained, year-round law enforcement efforts
- New technology developed through a non-regulatory, voluntary and data driven effort
- Allows a vehicle to recognize if a driver is drunk, and to stop the driver from operating that vehicle
- Up to 90 percent effective for both first-time and repeat offenders
- First-time offenders have driven drunk an average of 87 times before they're arrested
- 65 percent of the public favors mandatory interlocks for first-time offenders
