Opportunity - TeenDrive365 Video Challenge
From Discovery Education & Toyota:
Learning to drive is one of the coolest times for a teen. But facts have shown it can also be
extremely dangerous. In fact, the first year after a teen gets their license will be one of the most dangerous years of their life. (Source: National Safety Council). Actions such as talking
on the phone or just talking to your friends in the car, not wearing a seatbelt, driving at
night, texting, and just plain inexperience all result in car crashes being the leading
cause ofteenage death in the U.S.
But we believe that you have the power to inspire your fellow teens, maybe better than a
teacher or a parent can, because you know what messages will be the most powerful. That’s why the TeenDrive365 Video Challenge empowers teens to put that vision on camera and save teen lives!
Approach your video submission as your chance to find a message that would resonate
with you and your peers. If your friends—and teens throughout the United States—were
going to watch ONE video that made them think twice about making bad decisions behind
the wheel, what would that video be?
