An email from the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) announced that they are seeking stories from Virginians to improve highway safety.

DMV hopes to use the stories in a series of safety videos that will focus on the subjects of drunk driving prevention, seatbelt safety, speeding prevention and bring awareness to distracted driving.

It is hard to share such stories especially if you have lost someone in an accident involving any of those safety violations.

DMV hopes you can find the strength to share your story to bring awareness of unsafe habits behind the wheel to others.

If you would like to share such a story you can visit dmv.virginia.gov to find out more.
