 The Bemidji High School promised this weekend and that's why law enforcement decided now is a good time to remind the teens to practice safe driving habits on the road. April and May are known to be big months for traffic accidents and for young drivers the chance of getting in a crash is even higher. State troopers asked students to make the triple-A promise by saying they would not drive distracted. They warned that distracted driving can mean anything from driving drunk to texting, reading or even eating while driving. This time here with prom and activities starting, you know, people having cabin fever, a lot more people out on the roads and they may not be paying as much attention to their driving as they would and we just want to again get out the message that people need to slow downward or seat belts and keep the distractions to a minimum. Students who took the pledge were also given the chance to win one of 20 free t-shirts today.
