Contract for Life
Students Against Destructive Decisions’ (SADD) Contract for Life asks you to agree never to accept a ride from a driver who has been drinking alcohol or using other drugs, and to always wear a seat belt. Our center suggests that you and your parents have a discussion about this contract, and make a plan for safe rides home.
.
Pledge for Life
SADD’s Pledge for Life is designed to keep you (age 18+) safe from either driving after drinking, accepting a ride from an impaired driver, or walking home alone. It asks you to identify 3 friends or family members willing to serve as a ‘committed other’. The designated ‘committed other’ agrees to help you get home safely if called.
