Promise ZER0.0 Activity

This activity will help your team bring awareness to the dangers of impaired driving and help encourage your peers to speak up for safety and promise to always drive sober. Use the bulletin board set you receive in your resource kit or create your own banner and post it in a high-traffic area on your campus to remind your peers of their commitment to never drive impaired.

 Items Needed

  • Bulletin Board Set – included in your TDS Resource Kit OR Creat your own pledge banner:
    • Butcher Paper
    • Markers/Paint – for creating banner
    • Tape – for posting banner
    • Markers – for signing banner
    • Table
  • I DRIVE 0.0 stickers (included in your TDS kit)

 Steps

  1. Before your event, cut out the shapes and items on the bulletin board sheet OR create a banner out of butcher paper.
    • Bulletin Board: Most of the pieces include messaging to encourage a safe and sober prom. Two of the elements will be added to by your team
      • “I promise to…” pledge box: Come up with a safety promise to finish the sentence like; I promise to… keep my BAC Zero.0, I promise to… always drive sober. Then have your peers sign in the empty space during your event.
      • Not Everyone Does It bubble: use your annual survey data to show how many of your peers believe it is unacceptable to drive after drinking at your school. If you don’t have that data or want to show other numbers, visit our survey webpage to use percentages from state or national data.
    • Banner: If using your own banner, create one out of butcher paper with a message asking your peers to promise to never drive impaired. Make sure to leave space for your peers to sign around your message. Come up with your own wording, or use one of these:
      • PROMISE ZERO.O – I promise to keep my BAC ZER0.0
      • PROMISE ZERO.O – Zero Tolerance means ZERO DRINKING
      • PROMISE ZERO.O – I promise to always drive sober
  2. When choosing the date, place, and time for your pledge-signing, make sure you choose a location where you will be able to interact with as many of your peers as possible such as during lunch, before or after school, or at a sporting event.
  3. Hand out I DRIVE O.O stickers to anyone who signs the banner.
  4. At the conclusion of your activity, post your banner in a high-traffic area on your campus to remind your peers of their commitment to never drive impaired.
  5. Post photos of your activity on your social media channels to further promote the message of safe driving and tag @teensdriverseat so we can see your great work, too.
  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 encourage your peers to commit to never driving impaired and to speak up when they see someone considering getting behind the wheel while impaired.
