Granted, those Twitter and [...]

Keep Your Mind on the Wheel Mom! Guest Post: Lorraine Regel, The Survival Guide for Rookie Moms Using a cell phone whilst driving has always been a pet hate of mine and I’m relieved to say that as of Jan 1st 2010 it became illegal in BC. It has been illegal in Britain since 2003; although enforcing the law proved to be difficult and one report suggested more people were usin [...]

Please Promise Not To Use Your Cell Phone While Driving ~ Guest Post Guest Post by Karen B. Jones, Illustrator Web Site Blog Does anyone else know one of these walking contradictions? I’m talking about Moms who are so careful about their kids.  They baby-proof their homes until there’s nary a sharp corner or exposed outlet to be found.  They pull all the strings out of their kids jackets and hoodies.  They cu [...]

Distracted Driving Prevention: Education & Advocacy

We deliver reality-based, interactive multi-speaker presentations throughout Canada about the dangers and consequences of distracted driving.

There are three forms of distraction: cognitive (mental); manual & visual, including texting, talking on hand-held devices, in-car passengers, adjusting music settings, eating, personal grooming, dressing/undressing, reading & allowing pets to travel on laps. All these activities contribute to taking eyes off the road and attention away from the demanding task of driving.

D.I.A.D.’s dynamic presentation is unlike anything else in Canada, delivering a powerful message with a combination of knowledge, personal experience, energy and humour.

D.I.A.D. Drop It And Drive works in partnership with the Surrey Fire Service; Young Drivers of Canada; the Surrey RCMP and with the support of Klein Lyons to deliver high energy, interactive talks.

Contact us to find out more information or to book a presentation at your school, college, university, community group, organization or corporation. Our elementary & high school presentations are 'NO FEE!' & fee-based sessions directly support those school presentations.
