That's why Discovery Education and Toyota have
created the TeenDrive365 Video Challenge , which
encourages high school students across the country
to create PSAs directed at their fellow teens, about
the dangers of driving with distractions.
Last year, Matt P. and John C. from Olney, MD encouraged teens to
drive distraction-free For the Whales and won First Place with
$15,000. So which talented Comet teens will step up to win the Grand
Prize in 2017? If interested, Comets please submit a 30-60 second
distracted driving PSA of your own...the TeenDrive365 Video Challenge
