Indiana Attorney General Steve Carter Addresses Drunk Driving and Underage Drinking in New Radio Campaign
Date:10/23/2007

Spots encourage use of designated drivers and open dialogue between parents

and teens

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Indiana Attorney General Steve Carter today launched a campaign aimed at preventing drunk driving and underage drinking with new 30-second radio public service announcements (PSAs) set to air on stations throughout the state.

Carter also takes aim at underage drinking with two radio spots that remind parents about the importance of talking with their teenage and college-age children about underage and abusive drinking.

"Parents have a tremendous influence on their teens' decisions about whether or not to drink," explains Carter. "By communicating openly and honestly and setting a good example, parents play a critical role i
