Thank you to Florida media for their devotion to save lives. This campaign to save lives has been profiled on TV, radio and newspaper. Thank you to the radio stations who produced a Public Service Announcement (PSA) to remind drivers not to use their cell phone. Thank you to the Florida Dept of Transport for their commitment to spread the word to save lives. This campaign has spread across the USA and Canada through Junior Civitan Clubs.
The National Safety Council quotes from 50 studies about the dangers of cell phones, including hands free cell phone use while driving. www.NSC.org
The Highway Loss Data Institute studies show laws banning cell phone use are not working to reduce crashes and deaths; www.iihs.org So what works? Social Pressure is the only option.
What's the Truth?
A person who is talking on the phone while driving is FOUR TIMES more likely to get in a car accident than someone who has 100% focus on the road. THAT'S THE SAME AS DRIVING DRUNK !
Someone who is texting while driving is EIGHT TIMES more likely to get in a car accident.
IS THAT CALL OR TEXT WORTH SOMEONE'S LIFE?
The TRUTH is, no one has the right to willfully take everyone elses life into their hands.
Talk and texting on the phone while driving is a BAD habit that many of us have. We are asking you to make a change. Take the Pledge to become a NO PHONE DRIVER by signing the form below.
