Distracted Drivers
Fearless people are all around us. Handlers of venomous snakes. Rodeo bullfighters. Electrical linemen who do repairs from the sky. But there’s one thing that terrifies these brave souls: distracted drivers.
The Arizona Department of Transportation launched the public awareness campaign “Distracted Drivers Terrify Me” in 2020 because 100% of distracted driving crashes are preventable. The campaign aims to influence and change driver behavior, resulting in fewer drivers engaging in terrifying distractions and making roads safer for everyone.
