Posted by NATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS FOR YOUTH SAFETY on Apr 20

We're excited to announce that we have an event scheduled on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, this Tuesday, April 27th!  We're going to present the petition to lawmakers and let them know why it's important to enact laws against texting and driving.  

Seventy-eight percent of Americans can’t be wrong. According to a recent Allstate study, that’s how many people say that lawmakers should enact a federal law banning texting while driving. Allstate and NOYS have been leaders in… Read More

NATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS FOR YOUTH SAFETY Petition

Allstate and NOYS Need Your Help: Tell Congress to X the TXT

7,040 signatures

About this Petition:

Texting while driving is one of the most dangerous distractions facing teens today. According to a recent study by The Allstate Foundation, 82 percent of driving teens claim to use cell phones while driving, and 49 percent admit to being extremely distracted by texting and instant messaging while driving. Recent research conducted by Virginia Tech’s Transportation Institute reveals that texting while driving increases the risk of an accident by 23 times.

The study also shows parents can have a profound effect on their teen’s driving behavior. Eighty-one percent of teens admit their parents have the most influence on how they drive, and 79 percent say they are most likely to take driving safety advice from their parents.

It is critical that we X the TXT by enacting bans on texting while driving as a way to make America’s roads safer for us all. As a supporter of this petition, your full name, city, state and country will appear on the petition.
