Dress Up Days

Have fun dress up days to get everyone involved in learning about teen driving dangers. Sunglasses remind about the dangers of driving at night; pajama bottoms about drowsy driving; and seat belts about buckling up.

Escape the Risk

An interactive online game focused on pedestrian and bicycling safety around large trucks and buses.

Pedestrian Obstacle Course

Show the dangers of being distracted while walking. Students go through the course with and without being distracted while timed and are evaluated by time and number of objects knocked over.

Tabletop Simulator Activity

The Tabletop Simulator is available for schools, in limited areas, to borrow. The simulator offers multiple modules to complete, covering all risks a new driver will encounter. The user can set up a unique User ID and go through all modules, or use one User ID and focus on one risk.

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.
