U Drive. U Text. U Pay.

April is Distracted Driver Awareness Month


On Any Given Day


82% of 17 yr olds own a cell phone and 34% of those say they've texted while driving.
Sending texts, taking your eyes off the road for just 5 seconds, at 55 mph, that's like driving the length of a football field with your eyes closed.

On any given day over half a million drivers are using cell phones while driving. [scary]
Teen drivers are the largest age group reported as distracted at the time of fatal crashes.


Safety Awareness


Protect lives by never texting while driving.  Speak out if the driver is distracted and encourage friends and family to just drive.  Help protect lives by taking the pledge to end texting while driving.


Take the pledge #Just Drive


I pledge to Just Drive for my own safety and for others with whom I share the roads. I choose to not drive distracted in any way – Click on link below to take the pledge.

Distracted Driver Pledge



Distracted - not just Texting 


Applying mascara while driving makes you three times more likely to be in a car accident.
