Illinois Teens 6th Annual
Public Service Campaign
The Alliance Against Intoxicated Motorists (AAIM) is an independent non-profit organization founded in 1982 by families affected by drunk driving crashes. Our mission is to prevent deaths and injuries caused by chemically impaired or distracted operators of any motor vehicle or watercraft while assisting victims of these incidents in Illinois.
To educate the public about the dangers of distracted driving, AAIM's Prevention and Education Program has partnered with traffic safety organizations to conduct awareness campaigns focused on visual, manual, and cognitive distractions,
as well as proper seatbelt use.
Statistics to Note:
• 2,510+ crashes in Illinois due to distracted driving (2023, IDOT)
• 58% of crashes involving teens nationwide are related to distractions
(AAA Foundation)
• 6% of those killed in these crashes are teens aged 15-19
Thank you to all the students who submitted videos to our 6th Annual "Are You InTEXTicated?" Campaign.
Each video created has made a great impact in bringing awareness to the dangers of distracted driving. The top three videos that received the most votes and created the greatest impact were:
1st Place: Renee Saludar, Tinley Park High School
2nd Place: Alyssa Bonner, Huntley High School
3rd Place: Ian Williams, Stevenson High School
Congratulations to our winners! Each winning video will be shared this week on AAIM social media.
Please continue to share and spread the message through the end of Distracted Driving Awareness Month.
