Because someone's child was killed by a drunk driver and people are rightly outraged about how irresponsible it is to drink and drive.

There is no evidence that Candy Lightner has ever received a DWI or DUI. However, she has disagreed with the neo-prohibition orientation that has become prominent in Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD). Candy Lightner left MADD and is concerned that the organization that she herself created is changing its focus. "It has become far more neo-prohibitionist than I ever wanted or envisioned," she says. "I didn't start MADD to deal with alcohol. I started MADD to deal with the issue of drunk driving." Lightner emphasized the importance of distinguishing between drinking alcohol on one hand and drunk driving on the other.
Have breathalysers in all cars so you can't start the car until you breathe into it.
Candy Lightner founded MADD in 1980 after her daughter, Cari, was killed by a repeat drunk driving offender.
Yes, they do! A car breathalyzer is one of the last barriers to drunk driving prevention for DUI offenders who want to stay out of jail. A car breathalyzer, also known as an ignition interlock device, (or the Driver Alcohol Detection System for Safety) requires drivers to give a breath sample prior to starting their cars. If the breathalyzer detects a certain amount of alcohol, the car simply will not start. But by 2012 or so, in-car breath sniffers could be standard equipment in every new vehicle sold, force-fed to you by the tag team of Washington, Detroit and, Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD).
No Candy has not ever received ANY citation for DUI! While she is not a favorite person of mine, I do have great respect for her. I was friends with her survivng twin daughter for many years. There was always "breaking news" regarding both Candy and Serena. Once I was sleeping over and we were awoken to news that Serena had been killed by a drunk driver. She was sitting right beside me, alive and well. I will never understand why people have to throw stones at good people. With so many horrific things, true things going on, I have to wonder who is either that bored or that sad that they are fabricating stories.
