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 report offers a snapshot of roadway distraction and traffic fatalities since the pandemic and outlines concrete steps to help drivers reduce distractions. Readers can use it as a conversation starter to empower friends and family to stay focused behind the wheel.

This awareness campaign honors victims of distracted driving by bringing their unfinished stories to life, imagining what could have been.
Zaadii is a young Navajo boy who was tragically killed by a distracted driver.
Among his greatest joys in life were stories of superheroes. In fact, at three years old, Zaadii was given a cape and decided he too was a superhero. We agree. Zaadii’s Unfinished Story is The Legend of Z-Hawk, a superhero who fights to protect the environment and all that is good in the world. With this comic book, we honor the memory of Zaadii, superhero.
