The goal of this activity is to challenge people to use their memory with two sets of words before and after distractions are introduced.  Discussion should include the comparison between the number of words recalled with and without distractions.

Big Rig Events

TDS can help with truck safety outreach at your school or community event. Take a look at the resources we can provide.

Let’s Talk… Impaired Driving Prevention

This activity will help you facilitate a guided discussion with your peers to address their attitudes and behaviors around impaired driving and starts a conversation about the negative effect impairment has on car crashes and how teens can speak up for their safety.

Let’s Talk… Speeding

This activity will help you facilitate a guided discussion with your peers to address their attitudes and behaviors around speeding and starts a conversation about the negative effect speed has on car crashes and how teens can speak up for their safety.

Sleep Shocker!

The TDS team will conduct a poll on how many hours their peers slept the night before. The results of the poll will be displayed in the hallway to show how many “drowsy drivers” are walking the halls.
