September 15 through October 15 is Hispanic Heritage Month, a time to honor and celebrate the culture, traditions and many achievements that Hispanic-Americans have contributed to our great nation.
Driving drunk is a problem that affects people of all races. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Hispanics have the second highest rate of drinking and driving incidents and are more likely than other groups to ride in vehicles operated by drivers who have been drinking. Research also shows that 90 percent of Hispanics see drunk driving as a major threat to the safety of themselves and their families.
In short, drunk driving does not discriminate—it kills and injures people of all races and culture.
We strive to reach out to diverse populations to fulfill our mission to stop drunk driving, support the victims of this violent crime and prevent underage drinking.
