Motorists and The War Amps,
working together to make driving safer.

DRIVESAFE is a “kids-to-adults” message, from child amputees to drivers, developed to promote safe driving and to prevent serious injury due to traffic accidents. Children who have lost limbs due to someone's careless driving are the program’s inspiration.

To help get the message across, The War Amps offers defensive driving tips and DRIVESAFE windshield stickers. As well, the DRIVESAFE message is prominently displayed on all War Amps key tags.

  • Tailgated? Let them go by!
  • Don’t be panicked by other drivers.
  • Skateboards, rollerblades and bikes are here – share the road.
  • Slow down in bad weather.
  • Be seen. Use your headlights night and day.
  • Don’t sightsee when behind the wheel.
  • Anger is dangerous when on the road.
  • Conversation distracting? Head it off politely.
  • Don’t expect other drivers to notice signals. Be responsible for your own safety.
  • Don’t be tempted to call or text – use a hands-free device or turn it off.
