Step 1 : Introduction to the question "4. Candy Lightner, after the death of her daughter at the hands of a drunk driver, created an organization to combat drunk driving and to lobby for tougher laws. Which acronym stands for the organization she started?"



...1. MADD 2. FDIC 3. SPCA 4. NATO Candy Lightner not only experienced the death of her daughter, Cari, at the age of thirteen at the hands of a drunk driver, but also alcohol related incidents with her other children. When Cari and her twin sister, Serena, were 18 months of age, the car they were riding in was rear-ended by a drunk driver. Candy's son, Travis, at the age of four, was hit by an unlicensed driver who was incapacitated due to tranquilizer use. Travis suffered permanent brain damage; the driver was not ticketed. While walking down a quiet street, Cari was hit from behind by Clarence William Busch. Her body was thrown 125 feet. Her shoes flew off from the impact. Her body was so damaged that none of her organs were able to be harvested for transplantation. Clarence William Busch had four previous drunk driving convictions for which he served a maximum of 48 hours in prison. Two days before hitting Cari, he had been arrested for a hit and run accident. Outraged by what Candy has called "the only socially accepted form of homicide," she started the volunteer group known as Mothers Against Drunk Driving or MADD. She worked tirelessly to educate people about the dangers of drunk driving and to promote stricter jail sentences for people convicted of drunk driving. The group successfully lobbied the US Congress in 1984 to raise the national drinking age from 18 to 21. Candy left MADD in 1985 as she felt the members were becoming more involved in trying to prohibit alcohol instead of concentrating on the problem of drivers who drink. As she once stated about Clarence Williams Busch, "He is barred from owning a handgun but he can own a car". SPCA is the Society to for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, FDIC is the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and NATO is the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
