# Distracted Driving Awareness Videos Project Yellow Light's 'Love Story' Is a Wake-Up Call By Georgia Wray Norsten | Published 2025-04-04 | Social Good Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/project-yellow-lights-love-story References: [projectyellowlight](https://www.projectyellowlight.com/love-story/)  [Project Yellow Light's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/project-pigeon) Love Story is not your typical [PSA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sandy-hook-promise) -- it’s a powerful reminder of how quickly a moment can change everything. Released during Distracted Driving Awareness Month, this gripping [short film](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/relax-we-care) follows the journey of two best friends navigating love, freedom, and their first years behind the wheel -- until one impulsive glance at a phone redefines their future. Created by The Martin Agency and Le Pac, the campaign was inspired by Julie Garner, who founded Project Yellow Light after losing her 16-year-old son, Hunter, in a tragic car accident. Julie’s mission has been clear ever since: turn heartbreak into prevention. With data showing that over 85% of young drivers admit to using social media while driving, this PSA speaks directly to digital-native teens and their families. Love Story is about starting conversations, changing habits, and reminding us that no notification is worth a life.
