You don't need me to tell you that distracted driving is dangerous.
Each day in the United States, over 8 people are killed and 1,161 injured in crashes that are reported to involve a distracted driver.
At 55mph, the average text takes your eyes off the road long enough to cover a football field.
We've heard the facts, we have seen the damage, but we still do it.
We know its bad, but sometimes, we can't stop ourselves.
So I CHALLENGE YOU to toss your phone into the back seat!
"What about my music? What about my maps? What about when I'm bored at the stoplight?"
Your life and the lives around you are more important. No product or app will fix the unconscious reach for our phones- so make the CONSCIOUS decision to throw your phone in the back seat for the drive. Focus on the road. It isn't worth it!
Take the pledge to TOSS IT BACK!

Good call. I started doing this last month and it actually helps me stay focused.
Glad someone is finally saying this. People are everywhere with phones in their faces these days.
Too many accidents happening because of this. Good work Audrey.
YES! Finally someone addressing the real problem.
SO TRUE! It is way too easy to pick up the phone at a red light. Need to build better habits.
Love this; so important!
What a great idea! Best of luck with this!
