Take the Pledge

Whether you're an experienced driver or teen who just got their license, texting while driving is dangerous for everyone on the road. As stated on the text-while-driving website, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety found that May 20th is the deadliest day of the year for teens on the road. We are in Prom and Graduation season, combine that with the high numbers of teenagers texting while driving and you have a deadly combination. A study conducted by the Allstate Foundation revealed that nearly 82% of teens use the cell phone while driving, out of which 49% admitted to texting while driving. You can help stop this issue by spreading the word about the No Phone Zone Pledge to teens and adults! The No Phone Zone is a national movement to put an end to distracted driving. Join by signing this pledge not to text or use your phone while behind the wheel. Take the No Phone Zone Pledge now!
