Regarding the incident involving Justin Timberlake and the allegations of his arrest for driving while intoxicated, Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) emphasizes its commitment to the prevention of impaired driving and the protection of innocent lives. We are grateful that in this instance, it appears no one was injured or killed.
It is crucial to underline that choosing to drive impaired poses a significant risk to both the individual involved and the lives of others on the road. Each year, impaired driving results in the loss of thousands of lives and injuries to hundreds of thousands more — tragedies that are 100% preventable.
MADD will closely follow developments in this case as additional information becomes available. Our mission remains resolute: to eliminate impaired driving and the devastating consequences it brings to our communities.
“MADD looks forward to the day when every new vehicle contains passive drunk driving prevention technology, as required by federal law through The HALT Act, to put an end to this horrific crime,” said MADD CEO Stacey D. Stewart.
