To demonstrate my support, I pledge to:

Not text and drive because:


  1. it takes our eyes off the road for an average of 5 seconds. At 55 mph, that's like driving the length of a football field completely blind.1
  2. it's like driving after having 4 beers.2
  3. it can make us 23 times more likely to crash.3
  4. car crashes kill an average of 11 teens each day.4
  5. distracted driving injures 330,000 people every year.5
