Do not let your Representative vote in favor of drunk driving

Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) needs two minutes of your time to help stop drunk driving. Congressman Thomas Massie (R-KY) introduced a proposal that would reverse a 2021 law that will eliminate impaired driving. The proposal may receive a U.S. House of Representatives vote tonight!

Congressman Massie’s proposal erases the hard work by impaired driving victims, survivors and supporters who advocated for a federal law requiring impaired driving prevention technology in all new cars. The bipartisan Honoring Abbas Family Legacy to Terminate (HALT) Drunk Driving Act was signed into law in November 2021 as part of the bipartisan infrastructure law. The provision requires the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) to issue a rulemaking by 2024 to make passive impaired driving prevention technology standard in new cars.

Congressman Massie’s amendment to DOT’s FY 2024 funding bill would probit the implementation of this lifesaving law that when implemented will save more than 10,000 lives annually, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

As a member of MADD, I urge you to oppose Representative Thomas Massie’s Amendment #60 (Rules #20) to the House funding bill for the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) that would cancel an advanced impaired driving prevention technology standard in all new vehicles.

The Massie Amendment offered in the House DOT funding bill reverses the bipartisan HALT (Honoring Abbas Family Legacy to Terminate) Drunk Driving Act that was signed into law in November 2021 as part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. The provision requires the DOT to issue a rulemaking to make drunk driving prevention technology standard in new cars.

Drunk driving remains the leading cause of death on our roadways, killing more than 13,000 people in 2021, injuring nearly 400,000 and representing almost one-third of all traffic deaths.  According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, passive drunk driving technology as standard on all new vehicles could save 10,100 lives each year.

Please vote NO on Rep. Massie’s Amendment #60 (Rules #20) to the House DOT funding bill.
