Invite a guest speaker through the THSO Speakers Bureau by completing the THSO Speakers Bureau Request Form. Select a guest speaker based on your specific needs, focusing on topics such as Seat Belt Safety, Distracted Driving, and Impaired Driving.
Demonstrate best practices while occupying a vehicle (e.g., distracted driving, impaired driving, seat belt safety, appropriate seating arrangement, and pedestrians).
Describe how the presence of certain elements increases or decreases the risk of injury (seat belt decreases, distracted driving increases).
As students leave, have them work in pairs to identify a common driving distraction and propose a practical solution to prevent it.
Listen to students’ proposed solutions and evaluate them for creativity, practicality, and alignment with safety principles discussed in the presentation.
