 
As the holidays approach, many of us will be traveling to dinners and parties, to enjoy the company of friends and family. It’s a time of celebration, but unfortunately, it’s also the time of year when drunk driving is on the rise. Last year, more than 12,000 people were killed in crashes when involving a driver with a blood alcohol content greater than the leagal limit of .08.
Each year, during this holiday season, Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) conducts the Tie One On For Safety public awareness initiative, to encourage us all to “Drive Safe, Sober and Buckled Up.” The campaign aims to raise awareness about the dangers of drunk driving, and promotes always wearing your seat belt, which remains the best defense against a drunk driver.
You can get involved in the MADD campaign, and help spread the word against drunk driving. Here are a few tips to get started:
- Attach a MADD ribbon or sticker in a prominent place on your vehicle.
- Always choose a designated driver before anyone begins drinking.
- Post drunk driving statistics in a prominent place in your office or place of worship.
- Always Be a responsible party host.
Check out MADD’s site for more information about the Tie One On For Safety campaign, and for some tips on how to host a safe holiday party.
