Where Do I Enter?

When I was a sophomore in high school, I had a friend who was seriously injured in an accident where the other driver was texting. In 2011 there were at least 1.3 MILLION accidents where cell phones were involved. If just 10% of those people would have decided not to check their phones, or send a message, that number would decrease significantly. That is my goal. To significantly decrease the number of accidents that cell phones are involved in. To save a few lives. 

To Parents: It is not only teens who are guilty of texting and driving. Many adults claim that they are experienced drivers so they think they can safely text and drive. This could put kids in your car in danger, as well as kids in other cars or kids in the middle of the street. Take the pledge today to not text and drive and to keep all the kids safe. You can imagine what it would feel like if your own kid got injured by someone who was texting and driving. So don’t put yourself in the position to cause anyone else around you pain like that. And when you have kids that become old enough to drive, explain to them just how dangerous texting and driving is. Have them take the pledge before they first get behind the wheel. Keep it on your fridge as a reminder that they have agreed to not text and drive.

To teens, young adults, new drivers:

Take the pledge to not text and drive today.

Living with the guilt of injuring someone from texting and driving is something no one wants to do. Be responsible and stay off your cell phone while you are driving. Take the pledge today and encourage your friends and family to do the same.
