The Allstate Foundation and singer Austin Mahone are challenging teens to #GetThereSafe during Global Youth Traffic Safety Month this May and throughout the summer, the deadliest season for young drivers on the road. Starting today through August 8, teens across the country will have a chance to show where and how they get there safely by entering the #GetThereSafe Challenge. The winning high school will be determined by a random drawing and will receive a meet and greet with Austin in the fall.

http://www.forthebetter.com.au When we
think about causes of inattention when driving we instantly think about
things like mobile phones and passengers. But we wanted to know if
different emotional states could be just as distracting, so we put 5
drivers to the test in the Attention Powered Car to see just how
distracting our emotions can be. We're back at the RAC Driving Centre
to delve into this issue of inattention on our roads and see the true
impact different emotional states really has on our attention levels
when driving. To see what we've learning about driver inattention, and

Today at the North American International Auto Show, Michelin introduced the MICHELIN® Premier® A/S tire with revolutionary new EverGrip™ technology, which provides drivers with exceptional levels of safety even as their tires wear down. Even when worn, the MICHELIN Premier A/S with EverGrip™ technology stops shorter on wet roads than the leading competitors’ brand new tires.

We took the Attention Powered Car on the world's longest inattention road test and we discovered that on average our drivers lost attention at least once every minute.
The Attention Powered Car then headed back to the RAC Driving Centre where further tests were conducted to investigate initial findings from the road trip.
In this new webisode we explore the effects a passenger can have on a driver's attention levels and ways in which passengers might help drivers regain or keep attention behind the wheel.

The Attention Powered Car, developed by
the RAC, is into leg 3 of its road trip around WA visiting towns
including Donnybrook, Nannup and Pemberton, heading to Albany and then
finishing in the Wheatbelt town of Narrogin. In this
episode we put two drivers behind the wheel that drive for a living. We
wanted to see if their professional experience influenced their
attention levels. How will our Ambo and Australia's best truck driver
perform? First up was Mike. As a St John's Ambulance
Volunteer, he needs to be calm and confident driving under pressure and
at high speed. And it showed. So too with our second driver, Murray,
who's TNT Australia's best truck driver. Both came out determined and
focused to prove they had the edge. To some degree they did. Incidences
of inattention were fewer and further between, but they were still
there. Encouragingly, both drivers were much better at refocusing when
they did lose attention. Check out this webisode to see
just how they performed, as well as what insights we are finding about
driver inattention as we take the Attention Powered Car through
southern WA.
Perfumes are all about dreams—and about the power of scents to make our dreams come true. At Bond No. 9, the New York-centric perfumery, we the scent-makers had an ongoing dream of our own ever since our business got started in 2003. That dream was of a New York neighborhood where absolutely everyone wore fragrance—executives ... professionals ... careerists ... bon vivants ... singles ... marrieds ... mothers and fathers ... shopkeepers ... bank tellers ... doormen ... postmen ... taxi drivers ... bus drivers ... even the pizza delivery guys.

A new test program by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) rates the performance of front crash prevention systems to help consumers decide which features to consider and encourage automakers to speed adoption of the technology. The rating system is based on research by the Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI) indicating that forward collision warning and automatic braking systems are helping drivers avoid front-to-rear crashes.
