Smart Driving Saves Lives

the problem:

If $500 were given to me to promote smart and safe driving, I would use the money to spread awareness. After researching teen driving, I would put together a brochure with pictures and statistics of deaths, injuries, and more terrible results of unsafe and unsmart teen driving.

vital stats:

people impacted:

0

people involved:

why it's important:

I would also express the dangers of not buckling up, texting, or talking on a phone while driving through posters and t-shirts. I would get a large group, between 20 and 25 people to be exact, and one day after school, I would stand by the parking lot of our school and talk to students leaving the parking lot.

the plan of action:

I would use about $100 of my budget here; those who were buckled up would receive a candy bar out of a large variety I would have with me. Those not wearing their seatbelts would get a brochure or some other type of polite reminder reminding them to buckle up. To show to others the horrific results of texting, I would make a t-shirt or some other advertising device saying "Terrifyingly Extraordinary Xtreme Tragedies ....result from TEXTing."
