According to ICBC unsafe speed and alcohol were among the
top contributing factors for fatal crashes involving
youth drivers in 2009.
24 per cent of speed-related injuries or fatalities were 16 to 21 years
old!
A big thank you to Greg Drew who shared the story of his son's death at an assembly last week. This presentation was powerful and really showed us how our choices impact ourselves and others.
Greg's mission is to educate teens on the tragic outcome of speed. His son, Jay, died after a high speed crash. Jay's choice that day--and the permanent impact it has had on his family and friends--is something no parent should ever go through. The photo above is the car that Jay died in, which serves as powerful reminder to students of the deadly impact of choosing to speed.
