The organisation has been around for over three decades, starting in 1981 in the USA. It was introduced to NZ in 1985.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SADD offers a program that can be run in any secondary school. Students at the school help design an education program based on the information provided by SADD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The social goals are to help secondary school students see drink driving as socially unacceptable and to give them alternatives to drinking and driving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The website is woefully out-of-date (as at March 2015).&nbsp;Visit website:&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sadd.org.nz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.sadd.org.nz\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Brake<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brake is a road safety charity founded in England that has a branch in NZ.
