SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions) has teamed up with The National Road Safety Foundation (NRSF)

to hear what you are doing to make a difference in road safety. It’s YOUR turn to take action.

Calling all teen drivers!

Read on to find out how!

Contest DetailsHey, teen drivers!

It’s your turn to take the wheel for driving proficiency.

While “driving proficiency” isn’t typically at the top of a teen’s agenda, being a good driver is. Making responsible decisions behind the wheel should be a top priority for ALL drivers regardless of age, and sometimes, it’s the smaller precautions that make the largest difference. The list below highlights some potentially dangerous experiences that all drivers regularly encounter. Use these examples to help find direction for your campaign.

Well, what is driving proficiency?

To participate in the @UrTurn contest, we want you to plan a campaign about driving proficiency that includes three elements: school activities, community involvement, and media awareness! Pick a topic or two in driving proficiency that really impacts you, your friends, or your community, and then let your creativity flow while you shine your headlights on this issue through your campaign! We can help!

The @UrTurn campaign is all about YOU! Make a statement in your community, and plan

your events to help others understand how important

safe driving really is!
