To help cut down on that, high schools like Dobyns-Bennett joined together with State Farm Insuance in a national competition to rally around around young drivers and encourage them to make safe driving choices every tim they're behind the wheel. Nathan Vaughn State Farm Insurance of Kingsport was the local sponsor this year.
Celebrate My Drive was created by State Farm last year, to share the belief that safe driving is a lifelong commitment.
Since then, thousands of students, family, friends and high school staff members have joined the party.
