There are no do-overs in life. Speak up when your driver drives distracted. You can save lives. When someone driving you is driving distracted, you do not have to sit back and feel unsafe. Distracted driving causes catastrophic injury and death. You aren’t guaranteed a do-over. Make sure you speak up and say something to
Many of us are taught from an early age to respect others. It is a core value. But many of us toss our respect for others out the window when we drive. Respect, as a reason to choose to drive without distraction is explored in this video. Thank you to our sponsor Firehouse Subs Public
In the one minute video, it is the younger sibling that acts as the superhero, speaking up and confronting his older brother of his risky driving habits. The clip reminds us that even those who don’t drive can help keep those we love safe, as long as we are brave enough to speak up and say something.
“What distractions would you give up to save your child’s life?” In our 30 second PSA we target parents and their distracted driving behaviors.
U.S. Secretary of Transportation, Ray LaHood’s blog article of Feb. 22, 2011 reprinted as follows: A father asks: “Listen to Casey’s story, share it, and commit to driving safer” Today, I’m proud to present the first video in our Faces of Distracted Driving series submitted by a member of the public.

“I wasn’t texting, I wasn’t using my cell phone, but I still killed someone”, says 17 year old Kate McGuire in the new PSA video produced by Casey’s father, Joel Feldman, now incorporated into the EndDD distracted driving presentation. This is one of the first distracted driving videos which features both the driver and the victim’s family. Kate, a senior in high school, describes how her selfish act killed a 61 year old man who was about to become a grandfather for the first time. Emily, the daughter of the man who was killed talks about how this senseless and preventable crash has affected her and her family.
All of us at one time or another has driven while distracted. When you drive distracted you are taking chances and are putting other people at risk. This video—taken by a passenger—shows a professional bus driver who makes his living driving other people and who is responsible for the lives and safety of his passengers.
In this video published by the Abbotsford B.C Canada Police Department, a 64-year-old man was struck while walking across Hillcrest Avenue at Parkview Street. Despite being in a marked crosswalk during daylight hours and walking through an intersection with good sightlines, the man was still launched 50 feet when he was struck by a passenger car.
Everyone knows we’re not supposed to multitask while driving, but do you know why? Refraining from texting, changing the radio, or talking to other people in the car isn’t just cautionary advice from your parents and driver’s ed teachers. It turns out your brain literally can’t focus on too much at once.
