An important method to increase awareness is to advertise at High Schools. This would be effective because the advertisement directly targets the driving teenage group. An assembly called Steps to a Smart Driver should be held once a year in local high schools. The assembly should comprise a power point of the steps and a video called “Victims of Drunk and reckless Driving”. Brochures and a key chain as a reminder to drive smart should also be distributed to students.
