Branchville High School
Branchville High School's "It's in Your Hands" will educate teen drivers about four significant driving factors and make them aware that driving safety is their personal responsibility; it is in their hands. These four driving factors are: speeding, the proper use of seat belts, inattentive driving, and safely negotiating highway-railroad crossings. Through the efforts of students, the project will provide pertinent facts and information about these four situations, encourage teen drivers to make safe driving decisions to reduce car crashes, and educate drivers on the personal responsibility of driver safety. The inattentive driving segment of the project will emphasize the consequences of texting while driving, a dangerous new challenge and temptation facing teen drivers today.
