Here’s a “game” for National Teen Driver Safety Week
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
I suppose that National Teen Driver Safety Week isn’t technically a technical topic. But given that cell phones and texting represent a couple of major distractions for young drivers (as well as older ones), I can make it fit here.
According to the Governors Highway Safety Association, traffic accidents are the leading cause of death for teenagers in this country.
The group is promoting a program aimed at improving teen driving skills, fittingly called Driving Skills for Life.
Also check out this “game”, offered by the Century Council. It’s designed to test some of the same skills needed by drivers. (Ok, it’s really not a game - but it does do a passable job of making a point about the difficulty of trying to drive while distracted.)
