Take the Pledge
Did you know there were 141 accidents in 2014 throughout Nebraska due to distracted drivers on their cell phones?
Distracted driving, especially due to mobile phone usage, has increased durastically—and so have consequent crashes, sometimes fatal. As cell phones are more widely available, Walter Insurance and Real Estate wants to encourage our Nebraska drivers to leave their text messages and phone calls for when they exit the vehicle. Especially for our teen drivers, who make up a majority of distracted driving accidents, it is imperative that they form the habit of keeping distractions away and totally focusing on the road.
Discuss good driving habits with your family and friends, especially young drivers new to the roads, and have them complete the Take the Pledge contract available for PDF download below courtesy of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Let's all work together to keep our Nebraska roads safe.
