No Need for Speed Bulletin Board

speeding
Bulletin boards in high-traffic areas provide you with a great opportunity to reach your peers. Use the “No Need for Speed” bulletin board resources provided in your resource kit to create a bulletin board that provides valuable information and starts a conversation about the negative effect speed has on car crashes and how teens can speak up for their safety. These materials are designed to be cut out and displayed on a bulletin board, window, or another high-traffic area on your campus(minimum 4′ x 6′ area).

 Items Needed

  • No Need for Speed Bulletin Board materials (come in your TDS kit)
    • For additional rows (more stopping distances), you can download more car and bus pieces HERE. Use the speeding omnicalculator with a 2-second reaction time to generate these.
  • Stapler or tape
  • Bulletin board, window or wall (minimum 4′ x 6′) in high traffic area

 Steps

  1. Identify a location that students pass by frequently to post the “No Need for Speed” materials.
  2. Cut out bulletin board materials to be posted. A sample layout is provided but feel free to layout however you choose, making sure the educational information is correct.
  3. Promote the bulletin board by sharing speed-related facts during morning announcements.
  4. Plan to leave the bulletin board up for 3-4 weeks to ensure all students see it.
  5. Take photos of the bulletin board with your team to post on your social media channels and tag @TeensDriverSeat so we can see your great work.
  6. Submit an online activity form at t-driver.com to get credit for your efforts.

Don’t Forget

The goal of this activity is to have an easy-to-manage but educational activity that looks different from a poster to help students learn more about the impact of speed on car crashes. This is also designed to help you start a conversation with your peers on how to speak up for their safety.

 Make it GREAT

  • Use the “Let’s Talk…Speeding” Discussion Guide during club meetings or in classes to further discuss the issue of speeding and how you and your peers can speak up for your safety and the safety of others.
  • Check out the Stop! Stack the Blocks activity from your regional representative to use during your group discussions to illustrate the effect of speed on stopping distance.
