Accept the Challenge

End the Streak November 6,2025

I guess I need to begin with an apology for my last post (boot slappin D-Wie). Many of my friends recommended that I use AI in my writing, so the last post was my idea but written by AI. If you have read any of my articles, you can tell that it wasn’t my normal writing style. Not going to do that again! So, if you can put up with poor grammar and sentence structure, just know this is all my original thoughts and material. With that said:

I need your help!!!!

I have decided to take on a life saving project. The State of Texas launched a campaign in 2015, “End the Streak”. This was initiated when it became evident that since November 7, 2000, at least one person has been killed on Texas highways. Well, here we are, almost 10 years after the campaign launch and the problem still exists almost 25 years later. We are no closer to ending the streak than we were in the last 24 years and counting. During this time an estimated 90,000 people have perished in Texas alone. We see news reports of the fatal car wrecks that involve, celebrities, professional athletes and those with a death toll of three or more, but for the most part, being killed on our nations highways is an anonymous and acceptable way to die.

I contemplated why this campaign has not been successful. What does the slogan mean? End the streak, but when? There has never been a target date. I can speak for my own nature. If I do not have a deadline, the task gets pushed to the back of the to-do list. When I have a deadline, my focus is on successfully completing the task.

I have created a three-minute video called “Accept the Challenge, End the Streak, November 6, 2025.(

) The video is a challenge for every driver using the roadways to focus on safe driving for one day. This challenge is not limited to just drivers from Texas. What if every driver in the United States, November 6, 2025, before putting your vehicle in “R” for race, focus on the task at hand, the operation of the most effective killing machine known to man, the Automobile.

You don’t just decide to take on a task without spending time preparing. That is one of the reasons I chose November 6^th, the other, so Texas will not hit the 25-year mark. This will allow the information to be distributed and each driver to begin perfecting their skill. This prep time will allow families, friends and colleagues to discuss and prepare for a historic day on our nation’s highways.

The challenge comes in three phases.

1. Watch the video

2. Accept the challenge and begin to prepare

3. Pass this post and the video link to everyone in your contact list.

Please consider following me for the next couple of months. I plan to provide reminders with short videos to assist in improving your driving skills. I cannot do this alone.

If we achieve this goal it will be because of your efforts in distributing the challenge. There may be some of you who are wondering, why has an individual taken on this task. If not me, Who? If not now, When? Please watch the video and consider accepting the challenge. Let’s work together and end the streak in Texas and have a death free day on our nation’s highways!
