Nominate America's 'Most Aggravating Road'

TALLAHASSEE, Fla., July 29 -- What road really revs your aggravation engine? Drive for Life, a national educational initiative that documents America's road habits and aims to promote safer driving habits, is inviting drivers to nominate the "most aggravating road" in America. Drivers also have a chance to win a new Volvo S40.

Nearly half of those surveyed in the annual Drive for Life poll of drivers released earlier this month said they find driving more aggravating than just two years ago, with one in four calling it much more aggravating. Now, Drive for Life is giving drivers a chance to take the edge off their angst by nominating which roads in America are the most aggravating.

Drive for Life will announce the most compelling or creative nominations for the "most aggravating road" in America on the Drive for Life Web site http://www.driveforlife.com/ .

Between now and August 15, drivers 18 years old and older can visit http://www.driveforlife.com/ and enter the Drive for Life sweepstakes to register for a chance to win a 2005 Volvo S40.

The winner of the 2005 Volvo S40 will be announced Thursday, September 1, at 7:00 p.m. Eastern/Pacific and 6:00 p.m. Mountain/Central on the national broadcast of the Drive for Life: The National Safe Driving Test, before Labor Day weekend when millions of Americans are on the road and the risks to drivers and their families are at their peak. Drive for Life: The National Safe Driving Test is an exciting, fast-paced, 30-minute interactive program that tests drivers' knowledge, provides lifesaving tips from the nation's top driving safety experts and highlights critical safety measures everyone should know when driving America's roads.

Drive for Life is sponsored by Volvo Cars of North America, the National Association of Police Organizations and the National Sheriffs' Association.
