Campaign for Driving Freedom

The Campaign for Driving Freedom is an Ontarian political lobby group that advocates for the decriminalisation of drink-driving. It was founded on August 7, 2022 by model-putrid.

History
The Campaign for Driving Freedom was founded on August 7, 2022, calling for an end to what it termed "the persecution of drink drivers" through random breath tests and laws that restrict the amount of alcohol one can consume before or while driving. In a statement released to mark the group's establishment, founder model-putrid promised "the Campaign for Driving Freedom will push our elected representatives to stand up for the right of Ontarian motorists to make an informed choice when driving".

On August 25, 2022, model-putrid announced her candidacy for the September 2022 Simcoe-Peterborough-Prince Edward by-election, standing as an independent with the aim of drawing attention to what she called "Ontario's cruel and draconian drink-driving laws". She recieved 12.1% of the vote.

Beliefs
In its founding statement, the Campaign for Driving Freedom stated that it had three "key demands":
 * end all random breath tests on Ontarian roads
 * stop unfair and restrictive requirements for novice drivers to have a BAC of zero
 * abolish all laws that restrict a driver's BAC while on the road
