Teens are the least likely group to be wearing belts, but the most likely group to experience a crash.

 

Safety Belts reduce fatalities and injuries by 45 to 50% in crashes.  Join us in encouraging Nebraska teens to buckle up, every trip, every time.

 

Can your school use an extra $1000?

Greetings! 

 

Of course we want all of Nebraska's teens to come home safe, and wearing a safety belt is one important factor in making sure they do.  But do teens actually wear their belts?  Statistics tell us that teens are the age group least likely to buckle up, but most likely to be involved in a crash.   

 

So, let's try it again, and to sweeten the pot for contest facilitators, your school can win $1000!!!

 

Do these things:

  1. Let us know you want to participate
  2. Conduct 2 unannounced safety belt checks 30 days apart between 9/1/2010 and 4/15/2011 
  3. Do some education about the need for belts, or invite us to do it.  
  4. Send us your results
  5. Be entered in a drawing for 1 $1000 prize or 2 $500 prizes
  6. Feel good that your students buckle up, and maybe save a young life!
