Chisum High School and Teens in the Driver Seat Welcome Motivational Speaker Tyson Dever

The “Teens in the Driver Seat Team” will be hosting Tyson Dever, a motivational speaker on *February 12, 2016, beginning at 1:15 p.m*.

TDS, a peer-to-peer program  focusing on the prevention of teen motor vehicle crashes—the leading cause of injury and death for teens in the United States—helps students learn about the risks they face behind thewheel and supports them in spreading safe driving messages to their school and community.

This year, TDS has partnered with Tyson Dever to offer an experience to inspire and motivate teens to understand the importance of driving without distractions and to inspire others to do the same. Tyson survived a car crash that left him paralyzed from the waist down. On that day, Tyson was hit by a distracted driver and lost his ability to walk. Life as he knew it changed forever. What Tyson gained was a desire to inspire people to live life to its fullest and help others overcome any obstacles they might face. Tyson has motivated thousands of students around the country. Funding for this program is provided by a grant from the Texas Department of Transportation through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
