Summer has official arrived! The Pennsylvania DUI Association Board of Directors and Staff wish you a happy summer season and Safe Independence Day. We hope you get to spend time with friends and family as we celebrate our great country. We also want you to be safe on this holiday that has historically seen a high incidence of impaired driving crashes.
