Mission
"The mission of Mothers Against Drunk Driving is to stop drunk driving, support the victims of this violent crime and prevent underage drinking."
Generally MADD favors:
- Education (about the dangers of drunk driving), advocacy and victim assistance
- Strict policy in a variety of areas, including an illegal blood alcohol content of .08% or lower and using stronger sanctions for DUI offenders, including mandatory jail sentences, treatment for alcoholism and other alcohol abuse issues, ignition interlock devices, and license suspensions
- Helping victims of drunk driving (this includes family members and other loved ones of both innocent victims and guilty impaired drivers)
- Maintaining the minimum legal drinking age at 21 years
- Mandating alcohol breath-testing ignition interlock devices (IIDs) for everyone convicted of driving while legally impaired
