  1. Teenage Drinking and Driving By: Lindsay Wilson

  2. Did You Know? • Eight teens die everyday in DUI crashes • 200 percent chance that you or someone in your family will either cause, or be an innocent victim to, a drunk driving accident In 2005, 7420 teens died or were injured in DUI crashes.

  3. What about these? • Every 22 minutes someone dies in an alcohol-related motor vehicle accident. • On any given weekend evening, one in 10 drivers on America’s roads has been drinking.

  4. 60% of all teen deaths in car accidents are alcohol-related! • Drinking impairs all your senses, it gives you false confidence and makes you feel carefree. • These are the reasons teens crash when intoxicated. • When you are under the influence you feel like nothing can touch you, nothing can go wrong. That’s far from the truth.

  5. Don’t be selfish! • By drinking and driving you risk not only your life but others lives as well. • You can crash and end your friend’s lives or crash into somebody else and hurt them. • You never know what could happen and in the end you will have to deal with that for the rest of your life.

  6. Stop Yourself. Stop a Friend. • Too many people still don’t understand that alcohol and driving don’t mix.  Impaired driving is no accident; it is not a victimless crime. • Teens and parents both need a strong reminder:  underage drinking is illegal and can have disastrous consequences. You could lose your license, go to jail, or worse end somebodies life. • If you are drinking, don’t drive. Is it really worth it? Stop Yourself. Stop a Friend.
