3,308 lives killed in 2022.
That is how many people were killed by distracted driving in 2022 alone.
There are many different types of distraction in the vehicle—visual, manual, and cognitive—but one of the most dangerous is texting.
Sending or reading a text takes your eyes off the road for 5 seconds.
At 55 mph, that’s like driving the length of an entire football field with your eyes closed.
Close your eyes at your desk and count for five seconds. I am confident it will inspire you to put down your device when you drive.
What can you do to save lives in 2025?
Put the phone down—and encourage others to do the same.
