Impaired Driving
4. On average, someone in the United States is killed in an alcohol-impaired driving crash every 45 minutes
In 2008, an estimated 11,773 people died in drunk driving crashes involving a driver with an illegal BAC (.08 or greater). These deaths constitute 31.6 percent of the 37,261 total traffic fatalities in 2008. (Source: NHTSA, 2009)
Roughly three in every 10 Americans will be involved in an alcohol-related collision at some point in their life. Drunk Driving – quick statstics
5. According to the National Highway and Safety Administration's (NHTSA) 2007 National Roadside Survey, more than 16 percent of weekend, nighttime drivers tested positive for illegal, prescription, or over-the-counter medication. More than 11% tested positive for illicit drugs—a sign that continued substance abuse education, prevention, and law enforcement efforts are critical to public health and safety Drugged Driving – quick statstics
6. Each year, at least, 1500 people die in crashes related to sleepy, fatigued or drowsy drivers in the United States of America. This is according to statistics gathered by the federal government. This number is most likely an underestimate. Unless someone witnesses or survives the crash and can testify to the driver's condition, it is difficult to determine if the driver fell asleep.Each year, at least, 70,000 people are injured in drowsy driver crashes. For the same reasons as above, this is also probably an underestimate.At least 100,000 crashes are caused by drowsy drives, each year. Sleepy Driving – quick statstics
7. 62% of surveyed American adults (72% of men and 54% of women) reported driving while feeling drowsy.37% of surveyed American adults (49% of men and 26% of women) said they have dozed off while driving at least once.27% of surveyed American adults (36% of men and 20% of women) said they have dozed off while driving in the past year.

8. There are three main types of distraction:
Visual — taking your eyes off the road
Manual — taking you hands of the wheel
Cognitive — taking your mind off what you’re doing
Distracted driving is any non-driving activity a person engages in that has the potential to distract him or her from the primary task of driving and increase the risk of crashing.
While all distractions can endanger drivers’ safety, texting is the most alarming because it involves all three types of distraction. Distracted Driving

Have You Been a Distracted Driver?
10. In 2008, slightly more than almost 20 percent of all crashes in the year involved some type of distraction. (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration - NHTSA).
Nearly 6,000 people died in 2008 in crashes involving a distracted driver, and more than half a million were injured. (NHTSA)
The younger, inexperienced drivers under 20 years old have the highest proportion of distraction-related fatal crashes.
Drivers who use hand-held devices are four times as likely to get into crashes serious enough to injure themselves. (Source: Insurance Institute for Highway Safety)
Using a cell phone use while driving, whether it’s hand-held or hands-free, delays a driver's reactions as much as having a blood alcohol concentration at the legal limit of .08 percent. (Source: University of Utah)

27. Created by East Knox FCCLA 2008-2009
Used the FCCLA Planning Process Form to create the project
Broke up the major goals into smaller, monthly goals
Had one student in charge of making sure that the goals were being completed
Created a promote and publicity plan for the project, and what they were going to do each month as a chapter
Created classroom activities that could be used for “Leadership Labs” within the FCS classroom
Start small and make attainable goals Example:
28. Go to Ohio FCCLA website
Click on “Fun and Games”
Takes you to this site: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2009/07/19/technology/20090719-driving-game.html
Have students play the game at the computer lab
Gives students the chance to see what distracted driving can do to their reaction time/safety on the road Gauging Your Distraction Game
