REDDI stands for Report Every Drunk Driver Immediately.

It is a way for citizens to report suspected drunk drivers to law enforcement.

Heard during a DUI trial. One of the witnesses that testified was the citizen who had called in the REDDI Report, to notify law enforcement of another vehicle’s erratic driving.

Translations

Spanish – REDDI is an acronym. Unless anyone knows of a common equivalent in a Spanish-speaking country, I would refer to it as un Informe REDDI.
