Don't Park Here!
STAY SAFE ON THE ROAD
Texting, putting on make-up, making phone calls on your cell, drinking and driving, using drugs and driving, reaching for a snack… These are just a few things that lead to dangerous, inattentive driving, which could lead to serious accidents on the road – even death. BE SAFE! Even if you can’t participate in this contest, make a personal pledge to drive carefully. If you need to make a call, pull over. Don’t get into anyone’s vehicle if s/he is drunk. Eat before you get on the road – avoid eating in your car. And please, ALWAYS WEAR YOUR SEATBELT!
Right after graduation last year, a young man we knew who had attended our son’s high school got into a car with a drunk driver. The driver lost control and wrapped the car around a tree. The boy we were acquainted with died. Though we did not know this boy well, my heart broke for his family. Such a waste of precious life. YOU ARE PRECIOUS! Please make good choices. There are people who care – even if you don’t think so. Trust me, I don’t know you, but I care. When I hear about the loss of a teen, it hits me hard.
It’s always easy to think that it won’t be you. Don’t test fate. Be safe, be smart , live!
Here’s a grizzly YouTube video but it sure does get the point across! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmMNcOWhjWM
If you live in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Georgia, Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Colorado, South Dakota, North Dakota, Utah, Idaho, Nevada, Arizona, Oregon, and Washington then this is a contest for you. No purchase necessary. It is sponsored through American Family Insurance. I happen to know the person who designed the website, so that is how I found out about the contest. He posted it to his Facebook account. I am not, nor is anyone in my family insured with American Family so this is not an endorsement for their insurance. I like the concept of promoting safe driving among teenagers. So, consider taking the pledge!
