It is no secret that the youth (and adults) are more distracted today with electronics and other means of communication and entertainment. With that being said, there are many accidents that could be prevented that are caused from distractions while driving. Thousands of people have died in car crashes that involve the use of cell phones. New technology allows us to make phone calls, send texts and update our social media accounts all while driving our vehicle. These actions are proven to increase crash risks—they are dangerous for not only us, but also those on the roads around us. The National Safety Council observes April as Distracted Driving Awareness Month in hopes to draw attention to this epidemic.
NSC wants to empower you to put safety first and Take Back Your Drive.
Today we would love to have you join us by taking the pledge to drive cell phone free. Accidents caused by distracted driving do not have to happen. Why take the chance when you can prevent the accident?
Won’t you sign the pledge to drive cell phone free today?
We feel that it is important that we spread the word about distracted driving with everyone we know. It’s such a simple thing that many people do not think twice about, however one simple phone call could change a life forever. Won’t you join us in waiting a few extra minutes to update your status on social media, text a friend back or fumble with your phone to make a call that could wait? Not only are you protecting yourself, but you will also be protecting anyone in your vehicle and the other vehicles on the roads.
Remember, children learn by watching. If you are always using your devices while driving, chances are your children will follow and do the same. We all want what is best for our children. Let’s teach them while they are young.
Take the pledge today and take back your driving.
