Local Teens Sought for UW Harborview Driving Study

Are you a new teenage driver, or do you know one? Want to help test technologies to improve teen driving?

Teenage drivers between the ages of 16 and 18, and their parents, are invited to consider participating in a pilot study. Teens in King and Snohomish Counties who have smart phones, regular access to a family car, and a recent driver’s license may be eligible. We are studying two new devices for safer driving. Enrolled teens will be paid $180 (in gas or gift cards) for participating over six months. Participation is voluntary.

Eligibility requirements:

-Drivers license (received between September 2011 and October 2012)

-Smart phone with data plan and ability to download apps (cannot use iPhones or Windows 7 phones)

-Access to a car at least three times a week

Just a short thought to get the word out quickly about anything in your neighborhood.
Share something with your neighbors. Write a new post... What's up? Make an announcement, speak your mind, or sell something

I'll be a bit more direct than Jerry. The new site is a mess. Visually it's extremely cluttered.Read More It's slow, very slow. There appear to be no RSS feeds, a major negative. Following a few links sometimes sends you to a different community's Patch site. And what happened with the editing staff. Unless I missed something, suddenly there are new editors without any warning. No matter what the circumstances, normally such a move would be accompanied by an announcement of some sort. Venice may be the greatest editor ever, but it looks like she is splitting her time among several Patch sites, so the odds are stacked against her. Her "latest activities" list even suggests that she is editing a Patch site down in the San Francisco Bay area. With all due respect, Patch sites should be hyper-local, and the best route to that is a local (i.e. Mercer Islander) editor.

The Jury is still out. I liked the "Old Patch". J
