MADD Targets 2030 for Anti-Drunk Driving Tech in Every New Car as Awareness Month Begins
SHERIDAN, WYOMING – April 14, 2026 – Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) is urging Americans to make safer road choices as Spring Break, Crime Victims' Rights Week, and Alcohol Awareness Month all converge this month. The nonprofit is simultaneously pushing for full implementation of the HALT Drunk Driving Law, which would require anti-drunk driving technology in every new vehicle sold in the United States, while working to clear up what it says are persistent myths about how that technology operates. With 37 people killed and more than 1,000 injured in preventable drunk driving crashes in the U.S. every single day, MADD argues the stakes have never been higher. Founded in 1980, the organization has spent four decades building the case that impaired driving is not an unavoidable tragedy but a preventable crime.
