Drive safe. Drive present. Lead by example.
Distracted driving is a dangerous and common occurrence on today’s roadways. Technology, like smartphones, is part of the problem, but any activity that diverts attention from driving presents a risk. Our Every Second Matters® initiative empowers drivers, passengers, cyclists and pedestrians to speak up, set positive examples and play an active role in changing roadway behaviors to help prevent injuries and save lives.
The Travelers Institute is challenging all drivers to set positive examples and help change attitudes about what is socially acceptable behind the wheel with two conversation starter guides. These guides offer a snapshot of roadway distraction, the recent rise in traffic fatalities, and specific steps that drivers can take to reduce distracted driving risk.
