Intoxalock Renews Its Scholarship For Student Drunk Driving PSAs

Global Youth Traffic Safety Month kicks off in May to promote safe driving habits among teens

DES MOINES, IA - The National Organization for Youth Safety (NOYS) recognizes May as Global Youth Traffic Safety Month as a concentrated effort to teach safe driving habits to teens.

The National Highway Traffic Administration data says that 35% of teen deaths are caused by automobile accidents. As teen drivers learn the rules of the road, it’s important to reinforce the message of safety and safe driving. Many accidents are caused by distracted driving, such as texting while driving, or getting distracted by passengers.

As teens get more experienced on the road, NOYS says they may become overconfident about their abilities, which can lead to accidents and mistakes. It’s important for every driver to develop good, safe driving habits. Spreading the message to teens as they learn to drive can help instill these habits early, so they last.

Intoxalock offers a scholarship to college students and incoming college students as part of the effort to spread the message. To enter, students must create a 30-60 second original Public Service Announcement about the dangers of drunk driving. The winner is awarded a $3,000 scholarship to use toward tuition and school supplies.

Many PSA’s feature cautionary tales about drinking to excess on college campuses. NHTSA states that teens are at a greater risk of death from an alcohol-related crash than the overall population, which makes early intervention all the more crucial. Intoxalock offers special lower pricing on voluntary interlock devices for anyone who wants to install.

Parents can install an interlock in the vehicle their teen driver uses, and feel confident that they are not driving while intoxicated. This will not only keep their teenager out of legal trouble, it will also keep the roads safe for other drivers.

“The interlock will not only give parents peace of mind, teens with an interlock device won’t be as susceptible to peer pressure to drive drunk,” said Kathy Boden Holland, Intoxalock CEO. “We’re dedicated to making the roads safer for everyone.”

Taking away the option to drive under the influence will hopefully enable teens to make a safer, more responsible choice despite any pressure from their friends. Additionally, the devices can serve as a sobriety aid for teens who are struggling with addiction issues.

Intoxalock is available in all 50 states on a voluntary basis. There are more than 4,800 installation centers worldwide. If you are interested in getting an interlock installed voluntarily, contact Intoxalock at 833-623-0200.
