The Driving Zone
http://www.thedrivingzone2.com

This Traffic Safety Education Foundation’s mission is to educate new drivers, parents, educators and children of all ages about the deadly problems associated with distracted driving and other important traffic safety issues.

The Driving Zone 2 DVD is presented by the Andy Pilgrim Foundation (a 501c3 entity).  The goal of the DVD is to reach as many new drivers as possible with knowledge and information to help them with their driving.

Oprah's No Phone Zone

Faces of Distracted Driving To raise awareness of this issue, the DOT launched a website that includes a video series, Faces of Distracted Driving. This video series explores the tragic consequences of texting and cell phone use while driving. It features people who have either been injured or lost loved ones in distracted driving crashes.

“These videos are dramatic evidence that the lives lost to America’s distracted driving epidemic aren’t statistics. They’re children, parents, neighbors, and friends,” said DOT Secretary Ray LaHood. “These people have courageously come forward to share their personal tragedies in order to warn others against making the dangerous decision to talk or text behind the wheel.”

Faces of Distracted Driving commenced with three videos: 
  • Elissa Schee’s 13-year-old daughter, Margay, was killed in 2008 when a semi-truck crashed into the back of her school bus in Citra, Florida. The truck driver was talking on his cell phone at the time of the crash and said he never saw the bus.
  • Laurie Hevier’s 58-year-old mother, Julie, was killed when a distracted driver struck her as she walked beside a road in Rudolph, Wisconsin. Crash reconstruction reports showed the driver could not have been looking at the road for 8.75 seconds.
  • Amos Johnson’s 16-year-old daughter, Ashley, was killed when she lost control of her vehicle, crossed the center line, and hit a pickup truck in Asheville, North Carolina. She was texting at the time of the crash.
The DOT is encouraging others who would like to share their experiences with distracted driving to post videos on YouTube and e-mail the links to [email protected].
