Video Professor Creates Foundation to Promote Teen Driving Safety
Video Professor’s next step in community and philanthropy based outreach takes the form of a whole new charitable foundation. This new foundation is dedicated to promoting teen driving safety, and is called the Tillie Foundation. The name comes form this doll called Tillie that some guy used to take advantage of the car pool lane during rush hour traffic. After the guy was arrested they auctioned the doll on eBay and Video Professor bought it and turned it into a national symbol of safe driving.
I think this is a great cause to champion because I know plenty of teens who have had their lives ruined by stupid car accidents. Many young kids are not ready to drive, especially because they often have tons of friends in the car and simply don’t have the experience necessary to drive safe. Teen accidents can ruin the lives of teens not just because they get hurt, but because they can seriously injure others. I’ve heard way to many stories about teens dieing or causing other people’s deaths in ridiculous accidents that could have been prevented.
