I believe that many teenagers in our area were greatly affected by the many lives lost due to reckless driving, most noteably the crash in Bristol in August killing four area teens from four different high schools. So much time is taken in schools to combat drunk driving and driving under the influence, but everyday teenagers are on the road, speeding, playing road games, and generally not being safe.</p> </p><p><a href="http://www.dosomething.org/node/63735">read more</a></p> http://www.dosomething.org/node/63735#comments behavior Bristol Community Building Connecticut death driving education reckless sad Smart Driving teenagers teens Torrington youth 41.820274 -73.117870 Thu, 27 Mar 2008 12:57:47 -0500 babysquams 63735 at http://www.dosomething.org http://www.dosomething.org/tipsheet/smart_driving_winners <h1>Smart Driving Grant Winners </h1> Here are the winners of the Smart Driving Grants!

We promote safe driving by sending messages and bulletins to teens. We have almost 16,000 teen friends acrossed the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Our site contains videos of unsafe driving practices that get the teens attention. We then send them safe driving tips and information on driving schools. We also do a few fun things like listing our Top Friends every week. On the serious side we have memorial areas where the teens can honor their lost friends and loved ones.</p> </p><p><a href="http://www.dosomething.org/node/23164">read more</a></p> http://www.dosomething.org/node/23164#comments 2007 Safe Driving driving Driving safely Public Health safe driving Smart Driving 38.226997 -90.382150 Thu, 17 May 2007 13:17:27 -0500 amandacornish 23164 at http://www.dosomething.org http://www.dosomething.org/node/22666 <p><p>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. 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.</p> </p><p><a href="http://www.dosomething.org/node/22666">read more</a></p> http://www.dosomething.org/node/22666#comments Public Health safety Smart Driving 45.163848 -93.319500 Sat, 12 May 2007 15:42:35 -0500 safety 22666 at http://www.dosomething.org http://www.dosomething.org/node/22596 <p><p>This is going to be a very in depth thing, though the day that it happens may not seem that hard to set up, but the ideas behind the event are important.

You walk into the doorway of the cafeteria, or any of them being that there are numerous, and immediately you look down and see 16 paper-cut outs of bodies taped to the ground, representing the 16 teenagers that die everyday from automobile related accidents.</p> </p><p><a href="http://www.dosomething.org/node/22596">read more</a></p> http://www.dosomething.org/node/22596#comments Cafeteria Community Building driving free Friends lunch Sign up Smart Driving t-shirts 42.104127 -87.750160 Fri, 11 May 2007 20:03:33 -0500 T_bird9er 22596 at http://www.dosomething.org http://www.dosomething.org/node/22590 <p><p>Teens like to get information from their friends and other teens. They don't lecture like parents and teachers. But you have to be where teens are to reach them. My idea is to go to places like movie theaters, bowling alleys, beaches &amp; pools, and fast food restaurants to get safe driving information in the hands of teens.</p> </p><p><a href="http://www.dosomething.org/node/22590">read more</a></p> http://www.dosomething.org/node/22590#comments Education &amp; Environment fun movie preview safe driving Smart Driving 42.199957 -88.058590 Fri, 11 May 2007 15:37:42 -0500 Aggie Dancer 22590 at http://www.dosomething.org
