SIGN UP From 6 p.m. Thanksgiving Eve through New Year's Eve in 2020, there were 1,133 drunken driving fatalities across the nation, accounting for 30% of all traffic fatalities, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The campaign asks drivers to tie a red ribbon -- or more recently place red ribbon magnets or decals -- on their car as a reminder to always designate a non-drinking driver. Its name stems from when people would use the phrase ``tie one on'' as slang for consuming alcohol.
