SADD Students Work to End Distracted Driving

U Drive. U Text. U Pay., a statewide enforcement campaign to make our roads safer continues in North Dakota through September 30. Law enforcement agencies across the state will continue their participation in the campaign as they enforce the ban on texting while driving.

As the enforcement campaign continues, two North Dakota teens are making their voice heard when it comes to putting an end to distracted driving. Lauren Roscoe was selected among 500,000 active members as the Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) National student of the year and Logan Munson is the Northern Lights region SADD student of the year. The Northern Lights region consists of North Dakota, South Dakota and Minnesota and has about 4,200 members. Both students are from New Rockford, North Dakota and want their peers to understand the dangers of distracted driving. Texting while driving multiplies the chance of a crash 23 times.
