Minnesota teens have a chance to help make the roads a little bit safer.  The Minnesota Department of Public Safety and AAA Minnesota-Iowa are offering a contest for high school students.  These students have an opportunity to create a TV commercial about the dangers of texting and driving.  The top three commercials earn cash prizes and first place will be aired this spring.  Communication can be more powerful when peers speak to peers.  The idea is that teens will challenge each other to keep from texting and driving.  Teens in grades nine through 12 are able to enter and commercials are due April 19, 2010.  Click here for rules and entry forms. Texting, e-mailing, composing messages and browsing the Internet has been illegal in Minnesotat since August 2008.
