Prevention Starts With One Better Decision

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.
