Teens Against Distracted Driving was founded by Seattle Car Accident Lawyer Jason Epstein. In addition to launching TADD, Jason is an author of five books and also the creator of Straight Talk Law. Jason started TADD to encourage and promote safe driving practices by everyone, but especially our youngest drivers, who are also the ones most likely to text while driving. We have to save our kids from the epidemic of texting while driving.
TADD is partnering with youth leadership councils and schools across the county in an effort to spread our message to those on the front lines. We welcome any ideas on how to get our message out. Our goal is to have a orange TADD bracelet on the wrist of every teenager in America so that when they go to pick up their phone while driving they will see the bracelet and remember that their life, or the life of someone else, is not worth sending or reading that text message right then. It can wait.

How does one become a sponser?
While visiting Seattle on a driving trip from the upper Midwest(Minneapolis) and think this may be the best concept
todate to promote a text free driving population.
My question is simple………Is Oprah aware of this program and
if not why hasn’t she been invited to be a Sponsor? She has
taken this on as a personal crusade and her voice is very powerful.
If the goal is what both your organization and Oprah maintain it to be,
joining forces would be unequaled but what either of you could do alone!
I’m quite interested in your reaction.

One of our students in the TADD intern group just mentioned Oprah. We’ll look into contacting her … got an inside connection, Stuart?
Google “contacting oprah winfrey” I only wished I had checked back at this site…or that you had called.
She even has a very powerful foundation that might help you spread the word across the high school and college campuses across the world. All of which jumps off the page with a Google search…….approach her from multiple angles …..including asking for suggestions how to (more) cost effectively get the word out. Volunteerism would be my suggestion using word of mouth with a recognition reward system for your volunteers.
Remember that she is an out standing and very intelligent business woman who after this last season have her own TV Channel and good ideas get support.
Another tangental thought is the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation….
Good Luck
Is this organization still being used today?? I would assume so, but wanted to clarify since I didn’t see any current posts! I believe ever so truly that this is becoming worse and worse with our increase and knowledge of technological devices! I am a Nursing Student at Nebraska Methodist College and we are doing a project against texting and phone usage while driving. We came across this website and found it very intriguing that there are organizations that are starting to advocate the need to get this point across of texting and driving. Your website was very informational. Keep up the great work!
I have developed an app that parents can install on their children’s phone that disables it , putting the phone into stand by mode while the vehicle is moving. And let it come out of stand by mode when the vehicle has come to a stop or reduced speed below 10 miles per hour
If anyone would like more information on my drive safe app that put the phone in standby while the vehicle is in motion they may contact us through

I am very interested in promoting the TADD program in the Indiana counties of Johnson, Marion, Shelby, and Bartholomew. I have a very large, very nice, 4 wheel drive truck that I drive daily. My truck is entered in car shows, parades, school functions, etc… The truck is 8-1/2′ tall and is a 1998 Dodge Ram 2500. Kids from all ages take note of my truck, people of all ages photograph my truck and video my truck. I would very much like to vinyl wrap my truck with the TADD message. I would only ask that someone sponsor the truck for $300 per month to pay for fuel cost to continue to drive the truck daily to promote the TADD message. I am a father of 3 and my oldest will be driving within the next few months. We have talked about the dangers of texting and driving and i don’t want my son or anyone elses child to be a statistic from this danger. I can provide a picture of the truck to anyone interested in this. What ever business will sponsor my truck is also welcome to include their business name and logo on the truck.
We would have an interest in how to sponsor also. We make the Drive Safe No Text and Drive app. Maybe someone could contact us
