Last year, the highly publicized “Friends Don’t Let Friends Drive Distracted” Video/Meme/GIF contest was a huge success. EndDD.org received approximately 170 entries from students in 18 different states. Many of the projects submitted were created as a group effort, tallying the number of student participants to more than 500.
“We often hear traffic safety advocates talk about changing our culture so distracted driving is not socially acceptable,” said EndDD.org founder Joel Feldman. “Young people must begin that process. We need messages crafted by students that will resonate with students. This contest empowers kids and teens to change the way all of us look at distracted driving.”
