The Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) organisation was first founded in 1980 in California by Candy Lightner, although she no longer has links to the group. The initial focus of the group was drunk driving but now has evolved to fighting drinking and driving.

Did Candy Lightner the founder of MADD get a DUI?

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.
