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.

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.

Are you Street Smart?

An interactive online game focused on how to be safe on the road, whether you’re in a car, riding a bike, or walking as a pedestrian.
