Cell phones, friends and music are all things that can distract you while driving. One program is working to help drivers become safer on the the roads. andamp;quot;Alive at 25andamp;quot; is a program designed for drivers ages 14 to 24. This four hour course helps teach young people about the distractions they might come in contact with while they are behind the wheel. andamp;quot;The young people just don't understand that. They think they're invincible and nothings ever going to happen to them but in fact in North Dakota last year 30 young people lost their lives due to vehicle crashes and that's one every other week and thats to many to lose in this state. So we want to give them the tools to save their own lives.andamp;quot; says Terry Weaver/Program Coordinator. The national safety council says that students who complete Alive at 25 are 96 percent less likely to be killed in a car crash than youth who have not. andamp;quot;We certainly know by the comments of the kids that are coming out of this class or the young adults that are coming out of this class that they're more aware of the consequences and some of the distractions that are causing these fatailites so they understand a little better, what they're up against.andamp;quot; says Weaver. There are classes coming up in Bismarck on February 8th at the North Dakota Safety Council and in Dickinson on March first at the Drivers Ed Building at the high school.
