CHALLENGE YOUR TEENS WITH THE “DISTRACTED DRIVING DESIGN”

Distracted driving is a dangerous epidemic on America's roadways. In 2010 alone, over 3,000 people were killed in distracted driving crashes.

Traffic crashes are the leading cause of death for American teens. When it comes to distracted driving, young people are among the most likely to text and talk behind the wheel. That’s why Distraction.gov is inviting high school students to help spread the word on distracted driving by asking them to design a creative icon that can be shared on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and other social networking sites. Distraction.gov is looking for icons that send a clear message: cell phones and driving don’t mix. The selected design will also be featured on Distraction.gov as part of the official DOT campaign against distracted driving. This competition is open to citizens and permanent residents of the United States who are students between the ages of 13 and 18. Challenge.gov and the U.S. Department of Transportation want you to stay safe and have fun.
