Asks teens to rethink how ordinary choices can turn deadly on the roadway

What Do You Consider Lethal? challenges teens to rethink how everyday choices can become life-threatening, especially on the roadway.

Through interactive questions and guided discussion, participants examine how the four types of distraction, speed, seat belt use, and speaking up influence safety outcomes.
The evidence-based program reinforces that most teens want to make safe choices and look out for others. By highlighting positive norms and real-world scenarios teens recognize, participants see how simple, everyday decisions can protect lives and support shared roadway responsibility.

Why This Program Works

Interactive, research-driven programs that challenge teens to think critically about risk, responsibility, and the power of their choices behind the wheel and beyond.

Stories That Drive Change
Real students. Real behavior change.

Donovan was a gifted athlete, musician, and scholar with a near-perfect GPA and dreams of playing college football. Riding home from the movies with friends, the excitement inside the car escalated into speeding, teasing, and reckless behavior until the driver jerked the wheel and lost control; Donovan and the other unbuckled back-seat passengers were ejected, and Donovan was killed. His story reminds us that everyone in a vehicle shares responsibility for a safe ride and that speaking up, slowing down, and buckling up can prevent a moment of fun from becoming a lifelong tragedy.

What They Are Saying

I didn't think checking my phone at a stoplight was a big deal until the program showed how fast things can change. Now my phone stays out of reach before I even start the car.

Alex M.
High School Junior

I used to drive just a little over the speed limit because everyone does. The program helped me realize how much less time you have to react, even at small increases in speed. I slow down now, especially when other people are around.

Maria S.
High School Senior

I always wore my seat belt as a driver, but not in the back seat. After learning how injuries actually happen, I buckle up every ride. It feels automatic now.

Jordan K.
High School Sophomore

I used to stay quiet when friends drove distracted because I didn't want to be awkward. The program helped me see that speaking up is part of looking out for each other. Now I say something, and most of the time my friends listen.

Kristen G.
High School Junior

What surprised me most was realizing most people want to drive safely. Knowing that made it easier to change my own habits and support my friends when something feels unsafe.
