Abstract: The United States continues to suffer from a significant impaired driving problem, in no small part because policymakers and practitioners have focused almost entirely on only one cause of impaired driving: alcohol misuse. During the almost four decades since Candace Lightner founded Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) in 1980, the nation has invested tremendous resources designed to change social norms about drinking and driving and buttressing the identification, apprehension, prosecution, punishment, and rehabilitation of drunk drivers. Consequently, the prevalence of drinking drivers and alcohol-impaired drivers has plunged since the 1970’s.
