When people think they’ll be caught, they’re less likely to drive after drinking. That’s why MADD supports high-visibility law enforcement efforts. This includes sobriety checkpoints, which can reduce drunk driving deaths by 20%. Bottom line: strong drunk driving enforcement is one of the strongest deterrents, preventing people from committing the crime.
Each year, MADD develops a comprehensive assessment of each state. Our team looks as factors like ignition interlock laws, child endangerment protections and sobriety checkpoints. Is your state doing all it can to protect you from drunk drivers?
We know the destination. We have the roadmap. Now, we need your help!
