Nov 11, 2012 at 09:46 pm by Bryan Barrett


As teen driving fatalities near a 10 year low in Tennessee, Nissan was honored with the 2012 Lifesaver Award by the state’s Governors Highway Safety Office for its support of teen driving safety initiatives. Teen fatalities have steadily declined from 169 in 2006 to 83 in 2011, according to the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security. Nissan recently partnered with the GHSO to engage teens about the importance of avoiding distracted driving, and other harmful behaviors behind the wheel through the ThinkFast education program. ThinkFast is an interactive awareness game show that educates students about the importance of teen driving safety. The program is set up like a game show, complete with a full production set, mainstream music, an entertaining host and informative and engaging trivia that appeal to teens.
