The Problem

My idea is to promote safe driving among teens through a series of rallies in different high schools, and have schools offer behind the wheel training and driver's education. The rallies will discuss, and show videos that deal with the things that take away people's attention away from driving. Also the rallies will have skits that show the different causes of accidents, such as cell phones, make-up, reading while driving, trying to pick up something while driving, and paying more attentions to friends in the car more than driving. Lastly random students will be picked to miss school for a one week, while having the students in the school believe that they died in an accident. This was done by a high school in my area and it worked perfectly. Once people realize what will be lost from not driving safely, they will try their best and it will stick with them for life.
