WHAT IS THE #DRIVINGSKILLS101 PSA CHALLENGE?

Calling all teen drivers: this opportunity is for YOU!

 

SADD, in partnership with The National Road Safety Foundation (NRSF) wants to empower you to speak up against reckless driving. U.S. roadway deaths are rising at an alarming rate. Just telling people to drive safely isn’t enough. We need to do more. We can do more!

​

Passengers need to play a more active role in their safety and that of others. Passengers need to be empowered to speak up before getting in a vehicle and while in a vehicle if someone is displaying risky behaviors.

​

To participate in the #DrivingSkills101 PSA Challenge, submit a video telling us your idea for a PSA on how to encourage and empower passengers to advocate for their own safety from a reckless driver. We all have a choice! Tell us your ideas on how people should speak up to stop reckless driving and keep themselves and their families and friends safe.
