Drop It & Drive Teen Version

Winner Picked in Design Contest for Teen ‘Drop It & Drive in Darien’ Decal

Download PDF

Kallie Coughlin, a junior at Darien High School, has won the design contest for a ‘Drop It & Drive in Darien’ decal to be produced and given away to high school students in town. The decal, meant for rear bumpers but which can go on anything, is meant to remind drivers not to use their phones while driving, a practice that distracts drivers and can lead to accidents. Coughlin won a $100 prize. Other winners from the contest, which was open to Darien High students: Seniors Peter Torrente (who wins $50 for second place) and Stephanie Hilton ($25 for third place). The prizes were donated by Fresh Green Light, a driver’s school with a location in Darien. Whitney Ball, a mother and Darien resident, came up with the idea of the campaign and late last summer got help from local businesses and organizations to distribute the first version of the sign on a magnet for rear bumpers.
