Posted by admin in Tie One On For Safety on March 17, 2009
While celebrating the luck of the Irish on St. Patrick’s day with parades and pub parties, Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) reminds the public to designate a non-drinking driver before celebrations begin. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 78 people were killed in drunk driving crashes on St. Patrick’s Day 2007.
“Don’t press your luck by not planning ahead,” said Laura Dean-Mooney, MADD national president. “Designating a sober driver should always be a part of the celebration planning process. A designated driver is your most important lucky charm.”
MADD recommends that everyone designate a sober driver before celebrations begin. To prevent drunk driving in the first place, planning ahead includes ensuring guests are safe. MADD’s online Safe Party Guide is available at www.madd.org/safeparty. Here are common misconceptions of drunk driving.
