No message is worth the risk. A simple distraction can have lasting consequences.

🔕 Silence your phone while driving
🔕 Don't be tempted to look- keep your phone out of reach

Heading to school, work or plans with friends? The biggest distraction might be in your hand.

As many as 80% of collisions occur when drivers involved had looked away from the road for 3 seconds or more. Drivers who use handheld devices while driving are 4 times more likely to get into a collision that is serious enough to cause injury.

If you’re driving, put the phone away. If you’re riding with someone who’s distracted, speak up.

That text can wait. Your safety can’t.
