RAD's learning to Drive out slavery with T-shirts. Graduated driving students from Cd'A, Idaho and RAD owners, Rathdrum, Idaho, drive to learn about anti-human trafficking strategies.

Where will your adventure take you?!

• Our adventure has taken us across the country to learn about modern slavery abolition!
• 
  
• RAD drove 3,275.1 miles to attend a three-day school about abolishing modern slavery!

• Some of you have been in Mr. McKibbin's junior high history classes over the years, where we learned about slavery and the historical struggle for freedom throughout the world. 

• Now, we're here at SoulFest, in Gilford, New Hampshire--and yes!--we're learning about how to actually prevent, document, and stop slavery today!

• Last night, after the Switchfoot concert--by the way, they are very big fans of Not For Sale and the movement to re-abolish slavery!--we hung out in the back stage after-party to discuss how to be effective abolitionists.  

Here's one way! T-shirts!

• We're learning how to develop accountability in supply chains--that's right!--the stuff some of you students and I discussed years ago about t-shirts being made in third-world country slave sweat shops; then hiked, shipped, and trucked for you to buy at the store.
• Bad news, most cotton throughout the world is picked by hand, most of that by children, who do not get to go to school.
• Good news, there are companies that can prove they do not use any slave labor in their t-shirts, from the cotton farmers and pickers to the manufacturers!
• So, graduated driving school students are discussing with us strategies for being smart in how we buy the products we need, so that we help rather than hurt others.
• More good news, RAD is working to make those shirts available to you!
• We'll keep you posted!

So what about DRIVING?

Driver Training Student Experiences Tailgater in Rathdrum, Idaho

April, a responsible alert driving student from Timberlake high in Spirit Lake, Idaho, learned that she did a great job maintaining appropriate speed and keeping her cool while being tailgated during driver training in Rathdrum, Idaho.

Here are her thoughts.

• Today, while driving, I noticed that people can be so impatient while driving! While on Highway 41,  I was tailgated by a 3/4 ton pickup truck, and I was getting irritated.  I was getting ready to move into the right-turn-only lane, while the truck was going to stay in the straight ahead lane.   I was traveling 30 in a 35mph zone approaching a red light;  so of course, I had to slow down.  The funny thing was that, while I was able to go after stopping at the red traffic light, they had to hurry up to wait at the light until it turned green.

April is doing a great job applying behind-the-wheel skills from what she's been learning through IDLA online classes.  Bravo!

Online Driver Ed Students Compare Sports and Driving Alertness, in Twin Lakes, Idaho

RAD students begin building lifelong habits of Responsible Alert Driving:  able to respond proactively, skillfully, and wisely. Today during their second lesson at Twin Lakes Village, students focused on driving proactively using the vision concepts they had learned online though IDLA.  As they learned to anticipate risks far ahead and close to the vehicle, they began discussing how we can apply the same habits used to be successful in sports to safe driving.  Here are some observations in their own words.

• I am Jordyn, and I play softball in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. In softball you are always thinking ahead to what you are going to do when the ball is hit to you and you are prepared for all situations. This is the same as in driving because you must be ready and prepared for anything. You can’t control the other drivers, only yourself.

• My name is April, and I play soccer. I am goalie for my team, and with being goalie, I have to anticipate what all the players on the field may do. When one person from the opposite team is heading toward me with the ball, I have to not only look at what they are doing, but I also have to look at what all of the other players are doing. I have to see if a player is coming for a header or to help with the ball. I also have to warn my players and I have to be aware of everything. As a player on the field I have to do the same thing. I have to be aware of where everyone is before I get the ball, so that when I do get it, I don’t end up turning over the ball. This is the same for driving. I have to be aware and anticipate what the other drivers are doing and may do, so I may respond appropriately.

• My name is Kathryne, and I play basketball.  In basketball, I have to be able to look down the court to the other basket and see what the others are going to do, like throw the ball down the court or dribble down. I also have to be able see the people around me and also the person I’m guarding. This applies to driving, too; I have to be able to identify what’s going on around me and ahead of me.
