In conjunction with April’s National Distracted Driving Awareness Month, VHSA announced its fourth annual video public service announcement contest. With a focus on distracted driving, the contest is open to high-school students and designed to encourage young drivers, their friends, and classmates to avoid distracted driving.
This year’s contest expands the scope of distracted driving beyond just texting to include other causes of distraction such as using car features (music, climate, GPS), talking to passengers, eating and drinking, drowsiness, grooming, children and pets, smoking, emotions, daydreaming, and rubbernecking.
All the details, guidelines, and checklists are available on VHSA's website.
Thanks to our 2022 sponsors: AAA Northern New England, AT&T, Co-operative Insurance, Vermont Driver and Traffic Safety Education Association, Yankee Driving School, and Youth Safety Council of Vermont.
Additional thanks are owed to the Vermont Agency of Transportation for their support of this event.
