Distracted driving: the number one killer on the road.
- 80% of collisions and 65% of near crashes involve some form of driver distraction.
- Distracted driving contributes to more fatalities than both impaired driving and speeding.*
- Five seconds of distracted driving at 80 km/hr equals driving the length of a football field with your eyes closed.
What to do:
- Drive now text later.
- Keep your eyes and your mind on the road.
- Save grooming for the bathroom.
In the event of an emergency pull over to the side of the road and call 911.
