National Drunk and Drugged Driving Prevention Month -- December 1992
Persons who drive while impaired by alcohol or other drugs are
a public
health hazard to themselves and to others. Accordingly, the
injuries,
disabilities, and deaths associated with impaired driving are a
major
preventable public health problem.
December has been designated National Drunk and Drugged
Driving Prevention
Month by a nationwide public/private sector coalition devoted to
preventing
impaired driving crashes. The theme of this year's campaign is
"Let's Take a
Stand. Friends Don't Let Friends Drive Drunk." Additional
