Why Parley?

 
     What does your father's hand-me-down 1967 Volkswagen Bug or your dreamed of 2009 Jaguar XKR pricing at $122,334 have in common? They both require a driver. No matter what type of car you drive, if you drink and get behind the wheel, the outcome can have the same results.

     Although each state governs different laws and the degree of penalty varies, one thing is agreed on - drinking and driving can be devastating. In the United States, drinking under the age of 21 is illegal. Statistics show that in 1996, 21% of all 15-20 year olds involved in fatal crashes had been drinking. Just think about that, these individuals account for 6.7% of the driving population, yet they constitute a staggering 14% of alcohol-related fatalities among drivers of all ages. In a concentrated
effort to reduce these numbers, all 50 states have Zero Tolerance laws that must be in full effect by 2003. This law has a "Use it & Lose It" policy where drivers under age 21 with any trace of alcohol in their systems will lose their driving privileges.

     An ongoing concern is that alcohol-related car crashes are the number one killer of teenagers. In 1980 a group of brokenhearted mothers whom personally experienced tragedy in their lives at the hands of a drunk driver, were prompted to form a group called Mothers Against Drunk Driving or better know as MADD. This group consists of committed individuals and determined volunteers. Today, MADD is the largest crime victims' assistance organization in the world consisting of more than 3 million members and supporters. On-going education and the creation of successful programs have been directly linked to a 43 percent decline in alcohol-related traffic fatalities, equating to an estimated 138,000 people whose lives have been saved.

This will never happen to me - really? That's what most people believe. more
