Consider these sobering statistics: drunk driving is the leading cause of death among U.S. teenagers and young adults, and it is a factor in 49% of all fatal motor vehicle accidents in this country.

Don't let someone you love imperil his own or the lives of others by drinking and driving.

Begin educating your child or children early about the dangers of mixing alcohol with cars; encourage the habit of using a designated driver who drinks no alcohol; give your teens a ride home from a party yourself, send for a cab, or make sure they have identified someone they trust and can call if they have been drinking.

If your local schools or community has a project ride please volunteer.
