#eyesUP Safe Driving Pledge
Distracted driving is a choice. Today I choose to not drive distracted. I will keep my #eyesUP and on the road.
I Pledge to:
- Drive safely for myself, my friends and the safety of those around me.
- Limit distractions like eating, listening to music, and talking while driving.
- Not use my cell phone or handheld devices while driving a car.
- Help eliminate driving distractions when I am a passenger in a car.
- Speak up when I ride with friends and/or family and feel unsafe.
I understand that driving while distracted is dangerous to me, my passengers and to others on the road. I will do my best to pass this message on to others I care about.
