Rainbow Road is calling your name, Mario! You’ve definitely pulled a stunt or two on the road. We get it: everyone needs some adrenaline every now and then…but behind the wheel isn’t the best time. Here are some safer ways to get that rush.
Watch a haunting flick!!!
Lights off, eyes peering through a gap as you cover your hands over your face, and BOO!
HIIT the Road
If you really want to get your blood pumping, exercise will always get it done. Short bursts of fast paced workouts bring a rush of endorphins – don’t add muscle to your car, flex it in planks instead.
Face your fears!
Looking for a thrill? Do scary (yet) safe things. Afraid of heights? Watch a POV video of a skydiver. Scared of spiders? Bet you can find some pretty freaky videos on YouTube.

Keep Your Friends & Family Safe on the Road
Everyone knows speeding is dangerous, but warnings from parents and scare tactics from ads don’t change the behavior of young drivers, passengers, and pedestrians. Know who can? YOU! Share these tips to keep friends and family safe in and around vehicles.
Is your friend constantly DJing behind the wheel?
Tell them to make a playlist before you hit the road!
Is your friend constantly on the brink of road rage?
Make them a playlist of relaxing music for the road. Another idea? Daily meditation...just not while they’re driving (obviously). Send them an app like Headspace, which can be really effective in keeping them calm on the road...and, ya know, everywhere else.
Is your friend always walking across the street while texting?
Suggest that they “pull over” on the sidewalk to send a text or like a photo. They’ll stay safe in the street -- and be less likely to make an awkward typo. Crisis averted!
