Greetings!
As we get together with family and friends for this Thanksgiving holiday, let's take a minute to think about how safety belts may have impacted our gatherings. In every group listening to a Click It presentation, it's rare to find someone who doesn't know anyone who has experienced a crash. In any gathering of people, the group may include someone who is there because of a safety belt or there may be a absence caused by lack of a belt.
Thanks to all of you who promote safety belts in any way. Happy Thanksgiving, and Drive Safely!

Under Your Influence
|
|
 The NHTSA newsletter called Under Your Influence is directed at parents of teens. But it's not always teens who need to be reminded to wear their belts. Think about how the message also relates to others--not only your family, but your coworkers, your employees, your neighbors, plus any teens you interact with. Who do you influence? NHTSA also offers a toolkit of sample posters, flyers, letters, and much more for your safety belt promotions. check out the NHTSA toolkit

Belt It Out!

Do you know any teenagers who could write a song about driving skills? The song needs to include basic driving skill information, such as space and speed management and vehicle handling.
 Ford Motor Company is sponsoring a national competition for an original safe driving song. Teenagers ages 15-19 are eligible to enter the contest and they must write, compose, and perform an original song that includes elements of safe driving techniques.
First Place winners will receive $5,000 savings bonds (face value) for each team member (up to $25,000). Second Place winners will receive $3,000 savings bonds (face value) for each team member (up to $15,000), and third place will receive $1,000 savings bond (face value) for each team member (up to $5,000).
