To combat the high incidence of teen crashes nationwide, the Recording Artists, Actors and Athletes Against Drunk Driving (RADD) Coalition and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), both members of the National Organizations for Youth Safety (NOYS), have joined forces with private and public partners. The coalition is promoting a campaign aimed at fostering dialogue between parents and teens and teens and their peers on the importance of not driving impaired, buckling up, maintaining safe speeds and preventing underage drinking. The coalition's first outreach campaign is in collaboration with HBO Family and its hard hitting documentary, Smashed: Toxic Tales of Teens and Alcohol with an accompanying community kit. To order the kit for your school or community group, please go to http://www.noys.org/.
