		<description><![CDATA[My son asked me the other day if it is illegal to drive barefoot. I also remember my daughter asking the same question when she was learning to drive. It made me wonder what other random questions teens have and the urban myths and legends floating about. I set out to do a little research and here are some answers to questions you may (or may not) be curious about.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are many predictions, a.k.a. guesses, in life, aren’t there? But, sometimes the facts tell a different story. Driving, for instance. (You knew it was coming, right?) If you are a teen, you have some very harsh facts to face every time you get into a car and, unfortunately, the odds are not in your favor.

The main fact working against you is your inexperience. Driving is a skill. Think of yourself as an apprentice in a job you will be doing the rest of your life. Your inexperience along with the major dangers make your odds even worse.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[April is National Distracted Driving Awareness Month. Sort of funny isn’t it? “Distraction awareness” - an oxymoron, like “expect the unexpected” and “almost exactly.” But, sometimes we do need reminders to the distractions that take our focus from being safe. I received an email from a co-worker who was at an entertainment complex. You know those places that have miniature golf, batting cages, games and other fun stuff. This one had a go-kart track and while waiting in line he was watching the racers zoom around the curvy track. He then noticed a teen, about 14 or so, slow down dramatically on a curve. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You’re a great driver, right? You feel like you’re in control and wrecks only happen with other drivers who aren’t as great behind the wheel as you are. Don’t most drivers feel this way? We are all a bit egotistical when it comes to how we drive.

So let’s say it’s true. You are always safe, obey every traffic law, are never distracted and never place yourself or others at risk. That’s great, but the fact is, every time you get into a vehicle, you are at risk, whether driving across a parking lot or on a long road trip. Things happen which you have no control over and your last defense is a seat belt, which is why it is so important. Here are some facts for you to know.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This week is Work Zone Awareness Week. Maybe it’s not as big as Spring Break or Prom, but it is important! As the weather warms, we’ll see more work crews on the roads – repairing, expanding, repaving and many other construction projects. Construction is never a welcome sight, especially when lanes are blocked and you get stuck in traffic, but before you start honking your horn and tailgating the car in front of you, think about those people on the side of the road and the dangers you face in a work zone – sharp drop offs, large equipment, materials on the roadway, chemical and many others.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was thrilled to be asked to help judge the Driving the Message  Contest along with some other communication professionals and teens. I knew the bar was set high and couldn't wait to see the entries. I was not disappointed. I grew up on a typewriter; computers were not in my schools until I transferred to a larger high school - Katy High School in Katy, Texas (go Tigers!).]]></description>
