Help us prevent distracted driving.
· Nearly 6,000 people died in 2008 in crashes involving a distracted or inattentive driver, and more
than half a million were injured. (NHTSA)
· Using a cell phone use while driving, whether it’s hand-
held or hands-free, delays a driver's reactions as much
as having a blood alcohol concentration at the legal limit

experienced drivers: men and women under 20 years
of age. (NHTSA)
Doing something to prevent the temptation of distracted driving is easy.
