Distracted Driving Infographic.pdfSeat Belt Infographic.pdfRight now, Missouri has a “no texting” law for drivers age 21 years and under. But distracted driving isn't just a young driver problem.
Approximately 70% of drivers using cell phones in Missouri traffic crashes were 22 years of age or older. We are challenging all drivers to honor that ban no matter what their age.
When a driver is texting and driving they are 23 times more likely to be in a critical incident (source: VA Tech).
With stats like that it’s time for businesses, communities, government agencies and individuals to accept the challenge.
