Thousands of Young People are Hanging Mysterious Posters to Save Lives on the Road

Question: Almost everyone _______ in the front, but only 62% do it in the back. What is it? Answer: Wears a seat belt! (What did you think???)

Everyone knows wearing a seat belt is a smart idea. But sometimes we forget that they can literally save our friends’ and families’ lives. That’s why young people across the country are taking action through DoSomething’s Ride & Seek campaign, powered by Chevrolet.

They’re plastering their schools and communities with fill-in-the-blank flyers featuring questions like the one above. When friends text in the keyword on the flyer, they’ll receive the answer, along with easy, creative ways to keep others safe on the road. DoSomething members posted 12,030 flyers during the first Ride & Seek, and this year is sure to be huge too. Check out some of the best photos below, and learn how you can get involved. Let’s Do This!

“It is so simple to influence someone. If putting up a flyer is going to help change someone’s outlook or keep them safe, then it is totally worth the effort.”
