Sam & Ash Injury Law is currently accepting entries for their 2nd Annual Prevent the Crash with Sam & Ash Safe Teen Driving Contest. In partnership with Clark County School District’s ‘Safe Routes to School’, Nevada’s Zero Fatalities, RTC of Southern Nevada, Silver State Credit Union, Nevada Donor Network, and Findlay Volkswagen Henderson, this year’s contest has new community partners and bigger prizes to support safe habits for Nevada’s young drivers.

The contest is designed to empower students when they get behind the wheel and encourage a culture of responsible driving through education and community engagement.

“Last year’s inaugural campaign showed us that teens have powerful stories and real insight into how to make our roads safer,” said Sam Mirejovsky, partner at Sam & Ash Injury Law. “This contest isn’t just about essays—it’s about giving young people a voice and inspiring behavior that could save lives.”

Now through Friday, October 31, 2025, Nevada students ages 16-22 can go to www.samandashlaw.com/safedriving and submit a 400-500-word essay answering the question: “What Does Safe Driving Mean to You?” In addition to the essay, this year’s contest also offers a video component, allowing students to earn additional points by creating and uploading a video version of their essay and posting it on their social media pages.
