You Drink and Drive You Lose

Volume 2, Number 6 - October/November 1999

In December 1999, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) will announce the You Drink & Drive. You Lose. (YD&DYL) impaired driving public education campaign, which will provide a common identity to a number of Federal efforts to prevent drinking and driving. YD&DYL will target high-risk populations, such as persons 21-34 years of age, repeat offenders, and underage drinkers through public education, public-private partnerships, legislation, and high-visibility enforcement. The campaign will include two national enforcement mobilizations each year (in December and July). Each Spring, new materials on youth initiatives will be released. The next issue of BSC will include more information on this campaign. Safe & Sober Planner 20, which contains materials on YD&DYL (as well as the November mobilization periods and National Drunk and Drugged Driving Prevention Month), can by obtained by faxing a request to (202) 493-2062 or ordered on the web at www.safeandsober.org/.
