Sober Driving Pledge
Sober Driving Pledge Campaign
Many people think that they can drive safely after drinking alcoholic beverages.
The fact is that every drink, even the first, doubles, the risk of an alcohol
related crash. What's needed is a change in the societal attitude toward driving after drinking.
WHAT IS THE PLEDGE?
To show my support for safe driving.
I PLEDGE TO DRIVE SOBER.
Why Pledge?
1. To raise awareness that each additional drink doubles the risk of a DWI crash.
2. To publicize the damage done by drunk drivers each year. 17,000 deaths in the US in 2006.
3. To provide leadership in reducing drunk driving.
4. To influence our churches, businesses, and governmental organizations to sponsor Sober
Driving Pledge Campaigns for their members.
5. To reduce the community-wide acceptance of driving after drinking.
