Given yesterday's post about the dangers of distracted driving, specifically texting while driving, I thought it would be a good time to highlight VIP for a VIP, an organization that Deuterman Law Group supports.

The Guilford County organization uses dramatic crash re-enactments to educate teens about safe driving.

VIP for a VIP (which is short for Vehicle Injury Prevention for a Very Important Person) was founded in 1998 by two off-duty Greensboro firefighters, Steve Zimmerman and Larry Cockman came upon a fatal accident involving a teen driver. In the days following the accident, the men struggled with the senseless loss they had witnessed and decided to develop a program that would bringing the reality of a fatal crash to high school students.

You can check out the group's schedule to see if your school or a school near you will be staging a VIP for a VIP crash reenactment. If not, we encourage you to contact VIP for a VIP on behalf of your school because we firmly believe these demonstrations save lives. You can also make a donation online, which helps fund reenactments at schools throughout North Carolina.
