History

Historical Context

The DUI Reform Movement gained traction in 1980 after the tragic death of 13-year-old Cari Lightner, killed by a drunk driver. Her mother, Candace Lightner, founded Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) that same year. By 1983, MADD's advocacy contributed to a significant reduction in alcohol-related traffic fatalities, which accounted for 50% of all traffic deaths, highlighting the ongoing need for legal reforms and public safety initiatives.
