DENVER, CO / ACCESSWIRE / June 8, 2023 / As the U.S. enters the "100 Deadliest Days for Teen Drivers" - the period from Memorial Day to Labor Day during which 30% of deaths involving teen drivers occur¹ - SOBRsafe™ (NASDAQ:SOBR), providers of next-generation transdermal alcohol detection solutions, today announced that it has partnered with Mothers Against Drunk Driving® (MADD) to combat drunk driving.

• Continuous alcohol monitoring

• Band removal alerts
• A phone-based app for parents

Parents can pre-order SOBRsure with no financial commitment here.

A Common Cause
MADD is dedicated to putting an end to impaired driving and securing a future of No More Victims. SOBRsafe is likewise creating a culture of prevention and support, and has pioneered technology to make this shared vision a reality.

Aligned, Committed Leadership
"SOBRsafe has made a clear commitment to safe communities, and together I believe we can create powerful outcomes and real change," stated MADD National President Tess Rowland. "SOBRsafe is battling the preventable crime of drunk driving, and they are fierce supporters of MADD's mission of No More Victims. We are excited to partner with this innovative company and like-minded team."

"We are incredibly proud to partner with MADD, and we believe they will help us achieve our primary goal - to make a social contribution by creating safe environments and roadways, thereby saving lives," stated SOBRsafe Chairman and CEO Dave Gandini. "We expect SOBRsure to promote family involvement and facilitate the alcohol safety discussion.

"Per MADD, car crashes are the leading cause of death for teens, and 25% of car crashes with teens involve an underage drunk driver. If we could just reduce this figure, that would mean hundreds of teen driver and passenger lives saved each year. It's time we, as parents and professionals, stepped up to eradicate underage drinking and driving. We feel this partnership between MADD and SOBRsafe is a significant and evolutionary step forward."

A New Era of Alcohol Safety and Support
SOBRsafe's advanced safety management technology SOBRcheck™ hygienically detects and instantaneously reports the presence of alcohol as emitted through the pores of a fingertip - no breath, blood or urine sample is required, just the touch of a finger. SOBRcheck was awarded the Occupational Health & Safety 2022 New Product of the Year - Safety Monitoring Devices, and has received the Child Safety Network Safe Family Seal of Approval. SOBRsure™, the Company's revolutionary alcohol monitoring wristband for teen drivers, is now available for pre-order with no financial commitment at SOBRstore.com.

About SOBRsafe™
The annual cost of alcohol abuse in the U.S. is $249 billion. Nearly half of all industrial accidents with injuries are alcohol-related, and 1-in-10 U.S. commercial drivers test positive for alcohol (the highest rate worldwide). In response, SOBRsafe™ has developed a proprietary, touch-based identity verification, alcohol detection and cloud-based reporting system. The technology is transferable across innumerable form factors, including stationary access control, personal wearables and telematics integration.

A preventative solution in historically reactive industries, it is being deployed for commercial fleets, workplaces, alcohol rehabilitation, probation management and teen drivers. This patent-pending alcohol detection solution helps prevent an intoxicated worker from taking the factory floor or a driver from receiving the keys to a truck, bus or the family car. An offender is immediately flagged, and an administrator is empowered to take the appropriate corrective actions. At SOBRsafe, we are creating a culture of prevention and support.
