Steer Clear of Pot - New Drivers Kit
Approximately one in six high school seniors in the U.S. report driving under the influence of marijuana and more than half of the teens who drove after using the drug claimed it did not affect their ability to drive safely. The "Steer Clear of Pot" initiative was developed to urge parents and educators to teach teens the facts about marijuana use and other risky behaviors as they prepare to take on the responsibility of driving. The effort is part of the Office of National Drug Control Policy's National
Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign.
The National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign has partnered with GEICO, the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) and other driving-safety leaders to offer several free resources for parents and youth to help keep teens marijuana and drug free, before they get behind the wheel of a car.
The following FREE materials are available:
