We all know the dangers of distracted and impaired driving, but the scare tactics used by major advertisers don’t always have the desired effect on young people. That’s why young people are taking the wheel (pun intended) on this issue by using a fun, easy way to talk to their friends about staying safe on the road, powered by General Motors.

This fall and winter, DoSomething.org members showed their friends how much they care by giving them the keys to friendship. These little reminders served a big purpose -- by learning more about the dangers of driving while drunk, high, or drowsy, we could help save over 15,000 lives a year!

Feeling inspired? Take a look at how these awesome members are making a change in their communities and keeping their friends safe.
