Reynolds High School partnered with Safe Kids Northwest Piedmont and Brenner Children's Hospital for a day of educational activities centered on road safety on Thursday. High schoolers cycled between stations focused on substance abuse risk, traffic stop protocols, DUI testing, first aid, pedestrian safety, and more. Because there are so many factors that go into staying safe on the road, programs like this that remind young drivers to be mindful can make a life-saving difference.
"They're going to encounter a lot of dangers out there while they're learning to drive, and they'll need to learn a lot of precautions," said Mykel Jones, an HBCU Fellow who presented on behalf of the NCDOT's BeRailSafe program. "I believe we're getting them at the right time with a program like this."
