We're back again, this time chatting to Jacob Smith from Washington DC; an activist and speaker, who works with YOURS (Youth for Road Safety).

Jacob talks to us about a road traffic collision that happened to him in 2014. He talks about the injuries he suffered and how they still affect him today. Most importantly, he reflects on how he refuses to let this event define him in a negative way. He also describes the time he met Michelle Obama, and the insane amount of tweeting he does.
