Teaching and Inspiring the Prevention of Drunk Driving
Since the September 11 terror attacks, over 220,000 men women and children have died in America as a result of drunk driving. Laws providing a deterrent are not enough.

Our latest article, "Pot and Driving" lays out Rules of Thumb for marijuana users who drive.
The SoberDrivers Pledge is a promise worth keeping. It's your promise to BE PREVENTION by preventing your own impaired driving and preventing those around you from driving too soon after partying.

In America on average, nearly 11,000 people die every year in DUI-related crashes. This decline of a couple hundred fatalities per year is a function of improved vehicle safety, NOT the necessary change in our behaviors. A full 1/3 of all arrested for DUI/DWI are repeat offenders.
