Passengers are one of the biggest risk factors for young drivers. If you’re just starting out behind the wheel, limit how many people you drive — fewer passengers means fewer distractions and safer decisions. And if you’re riding with a young driver, be the kind of passenger who helps them stay safe, not one who puts them at risk.

Today, we honor the life of Hunter Garner, submitted with love by his mother, Julie. Hunter was just 16 years old when his life was tragically cut short in a crash caused by distracted and reckless driving. He was sharp-witted, creative, street-smart, and deeply loved by his friends. Losing him shattered his family’s world.

In the midst of unimaginable grief, Julie and her family transformed pain into purpose. They created Project Yellow Light, a national scholarship competition that empowers teens and young adults to use their voice—and their creativity—to speak out against distracted driving. What began as a tribute to Hunter has become a powerful, nationwide movement saving lives through peer-to-peer advocacy.

Hunter’s story is a reminder that nearly all crashes involving young drivers are preventable. A moment of distraction can change everything.

To every young driver:
✨ Your voice matters.
✨ Your choices matter.
✨ You can save a life.

Learn more about Project Yellow Light and how to get involved at projectyellowlight.com. Not only could you win a scholarship, but your work might be shared nationwide. And best of all, you could help save lives.

We are grateful to Julie for courageously sharing Hunter with us. His legacy continues to inspire action, hope, and change. 💛

Toddlers love to get our attention, even while we’re driving. Remember: respond with your voice, not your eyes. A quick glance away can be dangerous!
