7 p.m. at Lyndhurst High School Auditorium

Come hear the presentation so you can dialogue with your children about these potentially fatal behaviors.

On Thursday, April 19, 2012, Public Safety Commissioner Robert B. Giangeruso has invited Monica Zech, Safety Educator, as a guest speaker to feature a life-saving presentation on driving safety.

Ms. Zech plans to present a dynamic PowerPoint presentation to the Lyndhurst High

School student body and a second presentation to Lyndhurst parents and residents.

Among the many topics to be covered, Commissioner Giangeruso’s main concern

for this event is the fatalities and injuries in regard to the dangers of “texting and

driving” at the wheel.

Commissioner Giangeruso hopes to drive home the importance of awareness to

increase your chance of survival on our roadways and urges parents and residents to

attend this riveting “eye opener” driving safety lecture for road safety awareness that

could save a life.

PLEASE ATTEND!

Texting behind the wheel is not only illegal—it’s deadly.

Educators, concerned family and friends – I highly recommend the following program for driver education classes, traffic schools or if you’re concerned about someone you know that drinks alcoholic beverages and then drives. To fully understand the dangers of this practice attend one of these meetings. – Monica Zech

MADD Victim Impact Panels – What Are They?:

Mothers Against Drunk Driving believes that drunk drivers and potential impaired drivers need to hear what happens to the victims in impaired driving crashes. The Victim Impact Panel is a tool for accomplishing this goal.

MADD chapters select a panel of three or four victims to speak briefly about the impaired driving collisions in which they were injured or in which a loved one was killed, and how those crashes have impacted their personal lives.
