Drivers ed Webquest

Ava Clove and Makayla Orrell

You've finally got your license, YAY!!! Finally though all of the long drivers ed classes with a teacher who says "I love me" every day, and has a Chick-fil-a addiction, and done with all the test. Its the end of the school year, summers about to start, and your ready to party, and go on drives with your friends. You've worked up to this moment. You pick up your friends up, drive over to your friends house for a summer bash, where everyone from school is going to be there. You tell yourself and your friends "Just one drink, no more than that". Sooner or later during the party, one of your friends finds you almost blacked out drunk. You realize its late and you need to get home, you walk to the car and start it up. While on the road everything becomes blurred and irritating to the eyes. All of a sudden lights go out. You were in a fatal accident, you were found decesd at the scene. You never got the chance to say goodbye to loved ones and carry on in life. 

Set boundaries and rules for yourself before going out

1. Tell yourself and your friends to not let you drink instead of saying only one, once you start it can be harder to stop.

2. Be responsible for yourself and your actions

3. Don't drink and drive, don't even think about it

4. Have a good time, enjoy yourself, but remember your boundaries/rules

If you followed your rules

1. If you can do so, try and be a designated NON-drink driver to help those intoxicated. 

2. Check on your friends to see if they are alright, and if they need a ride home soon. 

3. Be proud, you have successfully followed your boundaries/rules.

If you didn't follow your rules

1. DO NOT DRIVE 

2. If you do chose to drink, call a Uber, call family member, call friend, or find a NON-intoxicated person who is willing to drive you home.

3. If drinking and driving is a last resort, stay at the party host house or find a friend who lives near by

4. If drinking and driving is happening more periodically, try and talk to someone or sign up for a recover group/program so you dont put others or yourself in danger.

You pick up your best friend, drive over to the party's house for a summer bash, where everyone from school is going to be there. On the way you both make a promise to not take a sip of alcohol and watch over one another. Its later in the night and you and your friend are ready to leave. Before leaving you find one of your friends drunk and needing to go home. You offer a ride, they accept, and drive them home. You get them home safe, as well as your best friend. You get yourself home safe and appreciate yourself for not drinking and following your boundaries. The next morning you find a news broadcast talking about a car crash involving a group of drunk teenagers you saw at the party. In conclusion, you were safe, as well as your friends was safe. Not to mention you went above and beyond helping save your friends life.
