Create a Family Plan That Discourages Distracted Driving

Distracted Driving Family Plan “ The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration defines distraction as anything that takes your attention away from the task of driving: talking or texting on your phone, eating and drinking, talking to people in your vehicle and adjusting controls are all examples. Socially, we accept these as “normal” activities when we’re in the comfort of our living room, but what about while we drive? 1 ”  Carl Marci - Former Chief Neuroscientist at Nielsen Consumer Neuroscience The Food Dilemma  Food, technology, and emotional wellbeing are all contributors to distracted driving.

This (hat) energy dome is inspired by the 80ies band Devo's hit song, "Whip it". Devo Whip - Song If you are looking for a fun 80ies costume or you just really love Devo here is a great way to recreate the energy dome! The materials I used will be listed below. See my 30 second #DIY #Costume video here: I cut my shapes out free hand, but if you use a foam circle or measuring rulers the appearance can be fined tuned! Materials : Two red poster boards Tape ruler personal hat as a size reference ruler bobby pins apple red inside spray paint - "I took the hat out doors to spray it."
