Welcome to the RID Blog
Welcome Everyone,
Thank you for checking out my new blog. As President and Founder of RID-USA, the oldest anti-drunk driving group, I will be blogging on issues surrounding drunk driving, teen binge drinking and how these issues are covered in the media.
We have a new webmaster, Evan Shelhamer. If you experience any technical difficulties in using our blog or posting comments, you can e-mail Evan at biz@imaginarynumber.net with your problem. I welcome your comments to these important issues as well as your suggestions and solutions to these serious problems which don’t receive the attention they deserve in the public arena.
You may also use my blog as a forum to bring attention to cases flying under the radar of the national media. I look forward to hearing your opinions and I will try my best to answer any questions you may have regarding RID, the services we provide to the general public and our policies that have made RID the most effective organization in detering drunk driving.
Sincerely,
Doris Aiken, RID-USA President

I think the no comment link for submitting comments is misleading. It should read “submit comment” or something more indicative of a desire to leave a comment. The current format suggests that no comments are allowed.

we would like to comment on the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of the probabtion department’s procedures in keeping a convicted DWI offender from drinking while he is on probabtion. We understand that they use a device which is attached to the offender so that his whereabouts is always known, such as visiting an establishment where drinks are served. This does not always work as there are ways around the procedure.

RID-USA is to be commended for performing a “service”, namely advocating for safe driving and elimination of alcohol-related injuries and deaths. Unfortunately, in today’s world terms like “self-control” and “safety” take a back seat to self-indulgence and recklessness.
