Registration open for teen safe driving campaign in South Dakota

PIERRE South Dakota high school students now have the opportunity to participate in the Lesson Learned teen safe driving campaign, where they can win $10,000 for themselves and another $10,000 for a school-sponsored activity or program of their choice.

Now in its ninth year, the Lesson Learned campaign plays a crucial role in educating young drivers about the importance of safe driving habits, helping to prevent crashes and save lives. Sponsored by the South Dakota Office of Highway Safety and the South Dakota Broadcasters Association, the campaign rewards participants while promoting safe driving skills.

The entry period is open now through April 30. Eligible students, ages 14 to 19, can enter by completing a few questions about safe driving here. Each completed quiz earns an entry into the drawing, and the website also tracks participation rates for South Dakota schools.

The $20,000 cash award helps capture teens attention, encouraging them to reflect on the real-life impact of distracted, impaired, or reckless driving. Last years winner, Kasen Bender, a freshman at Watertown High School, received the $10,000 prize and chose the schools soccer program as the recipient of a matching $10,000 award. By participating in Lesson Learned, teens gain valuable knowledge that not only protects themselves but also promotes safer roads for their friends, families, and communities.
