Louisiana’s Buckle Up Phone Down Challenge | New Orleans News

Louisiana’s launching a high-stakes video contest to make teens buckle up and put phones down behind the wheel—because one distracted second or skipped seatbelt can change everything. From Sept 1 to Oct 31, students create safety videos for cash prizes, while everyone’s invited to pledge safer driving. With 22% of last year’s traffic deaths tied to distraction, DOTD and Destination Zero Deaths are rallying youth to build safer habits—and you can join in at destinationzerodeaths.com.
