Introducing Focus Driven

The launch this week of Focus Driven, an advocacy group led by survivors of distracted driving tragedies, means distracted driving has met its match.  

Led by the amazing Jennifer Smith, whom we met and interviewed at the Distracted Driving Summit last year, Focus Driven has a clear mission:

FocusDriven provides victims of cell phone distracted drivers, and their friends and families, with an outlet for sharing their stories. We also provide those interested in this issue with opportunities to get involved. 

FocusDriven can help you petition your state legislation; educate your friends, families and coworkers about the hazards of distracted driving; or share your story with state representatives to help support legislation for safer roadways. 

FocusDriven supporters and advocates know, and many have experienced, the very real consequences of drivers distracted by their cell phones. We ask you to make the pledge to not drive distracted, share what you learn on our site with those you know and get involved to help make our nation’s roads safer. 

Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood made the announcement about Focus Driven earlier this week, and also appeared on the CBS Early show to discuss it. You can read Secretary LaHood's post about the announcement here.
