TeenDriver365 High School Lesson Plan – TN Road Safety Standards

> TeenDriver365 High School Lesson Plan

Watch the TeenDrive365 Virtual Field Trip video. This video provides an inside look at the innovation and teamwork that goes into designing Toyota vehicles, featuring insights from engineers, mechanics, and safety experts who explore the science behind safe driving. After watching the video, complete the Teen Knowledge Activity from the TeenDrive365 program.

Explain increased potential of injury when employing high risk behaviors while operating and occupying a vehicle (e.g., distracted driving, impaired driving, seat belt safety, and pedestrians).

Students will be able to identify and describe the dangers associated with distracted driving, impaired driving, improper seat belt use, and pedestrian risks.

What are some examples of high-risk behaviors while driving, and how can they increase the potential for injury?
Why is it important to avoid distractions and impairments when driving, and what are some strategies to stay focused and safe on the road?
How does proper seat belt use contribute to occupant safety, and what are the risks associated with not wearing a seatbelt?

Create an interactive glossary of distracted driving terms and concepts. Use this glossary to develop an informative pamphlet on safe driving techniques. In small groups, plan to distribute these pamphlets to peers in an approved location.

Review the interactive glossaries and pamphlets created by students to assess their understanding of key vehicle safety concepts and their ability to communicate this information effectively.
