WASHINGTON, D.C. — December 5, 2025
The WHITE HOUSE released an official presidential message today recognizing December as National Impaired Driving Prevention Month, urging Americans to remain vigilant and committed to reducing deaths and injuries caused by alcohol- and drug-impaired driving.
In the message, the President emphasized the significant toll impaired driving continues to take across the nation each year, noting that thousands of Americans lose their lives or suffer serious injury due to preventable crashes. The statement highlights ongoing federal efforts designed to reduce those incidents, including public safety campaigns, enforcement initiatives, prevention programs, and treatment resources for individuals struggling with addiction.
The presidential proclamation encourages all Americans to make responsible choices, support community prevention efforts, and engage in sober driving practices during the holiday season, a time historically associated with elevated impaired-driving incidents.
The message also underscores the Administration’s commitment to partnering with state and local authorities, first responders, and public-health organizations to strengthen impaired-driving prevention initiatives and improve roadway safety nationwide.
At the Appalachian Post, we reviewed the message directly from the first-hand source and confirmed the information strictly as written, without interpretation or speculation.
