Drinking and driving is 100% preventable and can have serious physical, emotional, and financial consequences that can last for years. A DWI can be expensive and cause legal hassles, difficulty finding or keeping a job, loss of trust from loved ones, and regret. The human toll of a DUI crash can devastate the lives of victims and survivors forever.
The "Drive Sober. No Regrets." campaign shares personal accounts from real offenders and survivors that challenge any notion the audience may have that they can avoid the consequences of drinking and driving. It emphasizes the importance of always finding a sober ride and the many options available.
