Prevention Starts With One Better Decision

Maryland’s trusted impaired and reckless driving prevention program.

Positive Alternatives to Dangerous and Destructive Decisions (PADDD) provides court-approved educational classes for individuals involved in traffic violations, impaired driving, distracted driving, and other dangerous driving behaviors.

Our programs are taught by nurses, police officers, EMTs, trauma survivors, and medical professionals who have personally witnessed the consequences of unsafe driving decisions. PADDD accepts court-ordered, lawyer-referred, parent-recommended, and employer-referred participants throughout Maryland and nationwide through our online classes.

Our sole intent is preventing traumatic injury and death caused by motor vehicle crashes.
