= Procedures: = **1.** Explain to students that according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death among Americans up to 34 years old. Factors such as alcohol consumption, high-speed driving, and other dangerous behaviors contribute to these crashes. Most accidents could be avoided by following common safety practices. The focus of this lesson is to learn about safe practices and laws designed to prevent accidents.

**3.** Talk about why it's important to educate the public about safety issues. Explain that in this lesson students will explore drunk driving and create their own public safety announcement.

**4.** Divide students into five groups of 4.

**5.** Have students use the Web sites below to research the safety issues. Encourage them to take notes about dangers, risks, and statistics. Make sure students include examples of trauma that may occur when safety practices are not followed.

[|Safety Fact Sheets] [|Fatality Analysis Reporting System] (FARS; see Did You Know? and Reports) [|Insurance Institute for Highway Safety] [|Drive Home Safe: For Teens] Impaired Driving (DUI/DWI) [|Alcohol and Drugs] [|Driving Under the Influence] [|People: Injury Prevention: Impaired Driving] [|National Safety Council Fact Sheet Library]

**6.** Have each group develop a public service announcement on a vodcast for high school students. Encourage them to use statistics and specific state laws from their research and anecdotes or stories from personal experiences. Students should include descriptions about the bodily injuries that can occur as a result of drunk driving.

**7.** After each group has presented its public service announcement, discuss the issues as a class. Which statistics did they find most surprising? How do they think their driving will change after what they've learned?
