Focus on driving. Phone use is prohibited for motorists under 18, and texting and emailing while driving is illegal regardless of age. Playing games, browsing the internet or using social media while driving should be avoided. Don’t apply cosmetics or engage in personal grooming when driving, and NEVER get behind the wheel if you’re drowsy or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Make adjustments to mirrors, seats and other controls before you start moving, and enter any navigational information beforehand as well.

Avoiding distractions and following speed limits reduces the chances of being involved in a crash, but sometimes it happens. That’s why it’s so important to remember to wear your seat belt, whether you are driving or riding along as a passenger.
 
And buckling up is not just important for your safety - it’s the law! 

Be sure you understand the restrictions relative to your current stage within the Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) system.  

Obey the posted speed limit, including required speed reductions approaching curves, intersections, schools and construction zones, etc. Adjust your driving appropriately for time of day, weather, pedestrians or bicyclists, and any road hazards.

Remember, they're called safety rules because they keep you safe.

NCAST Teen Ambassador Benefits

Our Primary Traffic Safety Initiatives

Being an Ambassador will place you in a leadership role at your school, delivering relevant messaging on safe driving practices to your peers, with guidance and materials provided by NCAST throughout the school year. Once you apply, you will receive confirmation, information regarding next steps, and regular guidance on messaging.

In the spring of 2025, every teen ambassador will have the opportunity to apply for a $500 educational scholarship* through an application process asking you to illustrate how you’ve helped support NCAST initiatives throughout the year.

Each year, over 10,000 NC teens are injured and more than 100 are killed in car crashes. Teens with limited driving experience are especially at risk on the roads, with vehicle crashes being the leading cause of death in America among those under 21.

NCAST and NCHSAA have partnered to do something about it!

The Teen Safe Driving Ambassador Program promotes awareness of driving safety issues specific to younger drivers through peer-to-peer messaging on avoiding distractions while driving, learning and obeying traffic laws, and always wearing seat belts.
