Raising awareness begins with new drivers

All things begin at home. Our board is a group that strongly agrees that somewhere along the lines things have become lax. A teen reaches driving age, they pass the test and now days life is so busy that a passed test has become good enough. Maybe a few lessons on the road. Maybe you have been a driver of quite some time now, but like some of us...We didn't know certain laws were in effect. We've become a little too relaxed behind the wheel and because we have driven successfully for so long - we find ourselves thinking that we are invincible. We have to return to the days of firm education, tough talks and even boundaries with consequences that enable a change. 

It's not just teen drivers that need to  be taught, it's the passengers as well. Passenger deaths due to distracted driving are at an equally alarming percentage. 

Our goal with Survivors Against Distracted Driving is to EDUCATE and ADVOCATE. Advocate for Survivors but also to educate anyone and everyone that will listen. The Unites States is at a crisis level issue when it comes to drivers safety / road safety.  There IS no "beating a dead horse" when it comes to awareness where road safety is concerned.  To provide tools to families with new drivers - or - even to drivers that have been on the road and you want to implement the adequate awareness.
