WHAT NOW?
A TEEN-LED DRIVER PREPAREDNESS INITIATIVE

WHAT
NOW?

The unexpected happens.
Be ready.

“I was scared. I didn't really know what to do.” One teen's experience inspired a resource to help the next teen feel more prepared.

The story behind the project

One accident.
One question.
WHAT NOW?

I remember how scared I felt after being involved in a car accident. I had learned how to drive, but in that moment, I didn't really know what to do.

That feeling stayed with me. I started wondering how many other teenage drivers might feel the same way.

So I created WHAT NOW? — a teen-led project sharing simple preparedness tools and trusted resources, so other teens can feel less alone when something unexpected happens.

I'm not an expert. I'm just a teenager who wanted to turn a scary experience into something helpful.

“Because sometimes the scariest part isn't just the accident. It's not knowing what comes next.”
Our mission

Preparation can make a difference.

WHAT NOW? is about confidence, community, and care — not legal advice. We want teen drivers to have a starting point before they ever need one.

From one teen to another

Help the message travel.

A card tucked into one glove compartment could help start an important conversation. Families, schools, student organizations, and driver education programs can print and share the resource for free.

We are starting small, with a goal of reaching more teen drivers through real conversations and community outreach.
