In India, 1 road accident occurs every four minutes – and it is estimated that 1.5% of road traffic accidents and 4.6% of fatalities are attributable to drink driving. All these accidents are preventable and Johnnie Walker The Journey believes a single drink-driving fatality is too many.

Johnnie Walker The Journey places great importance on Responsible Drinking and “Join the Pact" has been spearheaded by Mika Häkkinen for 10 years. Johnnie Walker The Journey’s “Join the Pact" campaign is brought to life through F1 asking consumers from across the globe to make a commitment to never drink and drive through making a personal pledge. Today, more than 4.8 million pledges have been collected in over 40 countries worldwide and now are committed to collecting 5 million pledges by 2018 worldwide. Johnnie Walker The Journey is bringing #JOINTHEPACT to India to collect over 2 million pledges, and to take the pledge total over the global target.
“Driving a Formula 1 car is about staying in control. I believe that I have a responsibility as a driver and role model to help address the hugely important issue of responsible drinking. Johnnie Walker The Journey’s "Join the Pact" is a commitment to staying in control and putting the safety of yourself, your passengers and other people ahead of everything else. It may sound simple, but unfortunately, there are still people who think it is acceptable to drink and drive and I am determined to do all I can to help change these attitudes and I appeal to all to make the choice to Never Drink and Drive. We're confident that people will get the message and make a personal commitment to get home safely and Join The Pact." – says Mika Häkkinen, Johnnie Walker’s Global Responsible Drinking Ambassador, and two-time Formula One World Drivers’ champion.
