MADD, A Driving Force for Change

M.A.D.D. is a political interest group that all mothers oppose drunk driving. It is designed for mothers who are victims of drunk drivers, whether they are injured or dead. M.A.D.D. was established on September 5, 1980. It had a big impact on today's government and had a big impact on society. M.A.D.D.'s idea was introduced by Candice Lightner, a mother who lost her 13-year-old daughter after a drunk driver died in a car accident. After losing her daughter she took action and initiatives to help prevent drunk driving accidents so that other parents do not have to experience the loss of their loved ones, especially their son.

MADD is very influential, it can be said that it influences not only public policy and legislation but also public perception and social policy. As a grassroots organization, MADD reveals crime and tragedy as a result of drunk driving, hopes and encourages survivors, victims and their families, and brings preventive efforts and positive changes. Unfortunately, MADD helped reduce the success of alcohol-related accidents in the past, but the number of deaths from drunk driving increased in 2016. According to CBS, this is probably one of the most serious driver death accident records ever. The citizens are aware of the danger, but NCADD warns that two out of two in three people will encounter certain drunk driving accidents in their lifetime.
