MADD Pressing For Crackdown On Drunk Driving

Don't be surprised to see tougher laws against drunk driving. That's what Mothers Against Drunk Driving or MADD would like to see. 

MADD President Denise Dubyk, who was in Saint John for the launch of the 9-1-1 campaign, tells CHSJ News a meeting was held with M-P's on the government side in late April and they appear to be receptive.

MADD is pushing for random breath testing which it claims would reduce deaths and injuries from drunk driving by at least 20 per cent and tougher sentences for those impaired drivers convicted of causing death or injuries.
