From Drive Smart Virginia:

80% of all crashes and 65% of all near-crashes recently studied by the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute involved driver inattention within 3 seconds of the crash.

For you, the driver, take the pledge too:

I,______, pledge to lead the way by:

  1. Committing to limit or stop the use of cell phones while driving.
  2. Asking loved ones and friends to limit or stop the use of cell phones while driving.
  3. Being informed about traffic safety laws in my area.
  4. Learning more about how distracted driving can harm me and others.
  5. Being courteous to other drivers on the roadway by reducing tasks (dining, grooming, talking on cell phone, etc.) while operating a vehicle.
  6. Modifying my driving behaviors to maintain satisfactory driving performance and attentiveness.

Please, take the pledge now and share this with everyone you know.
