MADD’s Campaign to Eliminate Drunk Driving ® produced new lifesaving laws and advanced our commitment to eliminating drunk driving across our nation. The Campaign ’s support for high-visibility law enforcement, including sobriety checkpoints, advocacy for ignition interlock laws for all drunk driving offenders, and our pledge to push for the development of advanced vehicle technology, including the Driver Alcohol Detection System for Safety (DADSS), contributed to a 23.5 percent reduction in drunk driving deaths over the past 11 years. When MADD launched the Campaign in 2006, autonomous vehicle technology and the idea of driverless cars was not a household conversation. Yet MADD knew technology would be key to keeping drunk drivers off the road. Passing ignition interlock laws for all drunk driving offenders was, and still is, a top priority in every state. MADD is proud to add two states — Nevada and Oklahoma — to the growing list of states with all-offender laws. At the start of the Campaign , only New Mexico had an all-offender law. By the end of 2017 that number had grown to 30 states and the District of Columbia. Visit madd.org/campaign to learn more. Stronger Ignition Interlock Laws MADD also evaluates effectiveness of laws that have passed and works against efforts to weaken them. MADD succeeded in strengthening Texas’ all-offender ignition interlock law, elevating it to the most incentivized law of its kind, and a model to watch as MADD works to pass and improve other state ignition interlock laws. Improvements to ignition interlock laws were enacted in Iowa and in Kansas in 2017 as well. Status of Ignition Interlock Laws
