This Memorial Day Weekend, Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) here in Texas are reminding all of us to stay safe behind the wheel.

They call these next few months the "100 Deadliest Days of Summer."

With the holiday marking the unofficial start of summer, MADD urges everyone to think ahead if plans include alcohol and use taxis, public transportation, rideshare services or call a non-drinking friend.

Emma Dugas is the MADD Texas Program Manager. She joined KRLD's David Rancken and Kristin Diaz on the Afternoon News.
