The 2017 “No 2 Distracted Driving” Video Contest

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 71% of teens and young people say they have composed/sent SMS messages while driving. Fully 78% say they have read an SMS message while driving. And the University of Michigan Transporation Research Institute says 25% of teen drivers respond to a text message every time they’re behind the wheel.

For the fifth year in a row, Hampton Roads High School students joined with Hall | MileOne Autogroup and Cox Communications in their commitment towards safe driving in the community by creating and submitting videos highlighting the dangers of distracted driving. A panel selected four finalists from all the entries received then visitors to No2DD.com viewed the videos and voted for their favorites.

The results of the 2017 “No 2 Distracted Driving Video Contest” are below. Congratulations to all four winners and to every student and student group who submitted entries.
