Take the Pledge to Ditch Distracted Driving

Distracted driving is a deadly epidemic that is sweeping our nation’s people. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 1 in 4 accidents are caused by distracted driving. As personal injury attorneys who represent victims of such tragic vehicle accidents, Malman Law is launching a campaign on their website, www.malmanlaw.com called “Pledge to Ditch Distracted Driving.” The campaign will educate the public about the dangers of distracted driving and also allows for them to take action and spread the word by sharing the campaign with family and friends. All persons are also welcome to take the pledge to never drive distracted again.

Why is distracted driving an epidemic now more than ever?

Drivers are busier than ever in today’s fast paced world. Teens are rushing to after school activities with notes in one hand, cell phone in the other as they strive for excellence. College students are reviewing for exams, checking emails, social media. Business men and women are checking stats, surveys, listening to conference calls. All of this is being done while also watching for red lights, pedestrians, break lights, green lights, stop signs, merging drivers, railroad tracks, exit signs, highways signs, speed limits—this list can continue.
