Saving Lives – One Tweet at a Time

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
30 October 2015

Every 52 minutes in America, someone is killed in a drunk driving crash. And, for every preventable drunk driving death – 10,076 in 2013 alone – exponentially more lives are forever changed by the loss of a parent, child, friend or loved one of these preventable tragedies.

But on December 2, as families across the United States are preparing for the holidays, a single tweet could save a life. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is holding a Twitter chat to accomplish just that - saving lives. Experts will be available to answer questions while you are able to spread the word to your followers and encourage them to take the pledge not to drive while buzzed. We've also got plenty of other resources available for you to help spread this life-saving message far and wide.
