Katherine Prescott

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Katherine Prescott was the sixth president of Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), serving 1995-1997. Ms. Prescott's 16-year-old son was killed by a driver with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .17 percent, which is over twice the current maximum level. The tragedy led Ms. Prescott to begin working for the organization and ultimately rise to her position of national leadership.

Ms. Prescott advocated a 0.0 maximum legal BAC for driving and asseted that “There is no safe blood alcohol level, and for that reason responsible drinking means no drinking and driving.”
