Mission Statement

Drugged drivers threaten the lives of random and innocent roadway users every day throughout New York State.


This site is intended to educate, inform and raise awareness of the issues surrounding drugged driving in New York State.


New York's drugged driving laws are full of loopholes. Drugged drivers are frequently not being identified until after they have crashed – after they have hurt or killed someone. New York's laws do not work well to stop drugged drivers before they crash - that leaves deadly drivers free to endanger everyone.

The current laws are ineffective.


The MISSION is to bring CHANGE to SAVE LIVES







This broad coalition of traffic safety advocates, criminal justice professionals, businesses and organizations was formed to urge passage of a law to close the dangerous loopholes in drugged driving.
