Saint John's MADD Chapter Traveling to Ottawa

A Saint John mother whose son was injured by a drunk driver is taking the fight to Ottawa.

Karen Dunham is part of the current chapter of MADD in Saint John and she tells CHSJ News while improvements have been made, impaired driving continues to kill and injure thousands of Canadians every year, and they're making the whirlwind trip on April 25 to talk with as many politicians as they can.

MADD Canada representatives will speak with MPs about a number of recommendations to reduce impaired driving, including tougher sanctions for repeat impaired drivers, tougher sanctions for those with BACs in excess of .16% BAC, and random roadside breath testing.
