FIGHTING BACK: ORGANIZATIONS AGAINST DRUNK DRIVING

Citizens' organisations, run by both adults and teenagers, are leading the United States into the biggest crackdown on drunk driving that has ever been waged. They are lobbying for stricter laws, pushing for tougher enforcement and stirring up public concern over the drunk driving problem. This article focuses on some of these organizations and their programs: Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), Remove Intoxicated Drivers (RID), Stop Killing by Intoxicated Drivers (SKID), and Students Against Driving Drunk (SADD).
