Distract-A-Match

Distract-A-Match is available for schools to borrow. This activity helps you demonstrate a person’s susceptibility to distraction and how this could interfere with their ability to perform driving tasks and increase crash risk. Many people believe they can multitask while driving without it impacting their driving ability; this activity shows the effect of distractions in a safe and fun environment.

STOP! Stack the Blocks Activity

This hands-on activity raises awareness about the dangers of speeding and helps show that the faster the speed, the more stopping distance is required. You and your peers will conceptualize the distance it takes for a car traveling X miles per hour to stop to better visualize the longer stopping distances that are needed when traveling at high speeds.
