Distracted driving refers to any activity that takes a driver's attention away from operating a vehicle safely, such as talking on phones, eating, changing music, or using a navigation system. Texting while driving is especially dangerous as it involves taking eyes, hands, and mind off the road. In fact, texting drivers are 20 times more likely to crash than non-distracted drivers. Distracted driving causes over 421,000 injuries and 3,154 deaths annually. Various government agencies are working to increase awareness and pass laws against distracted driving.

The Dangers of Distracted Driving
The document discusses the dangers of distracted driving, noting that every day in the United States 8 people are killed in car accidents involving a distracted driver. It identifies several common distractions like texting, eating, talking to passengers, using a navigation system, and adjusting the radio. Texting is considered the most dangerous as it impairs visual, manual, and cognitive functions. In 2014 in Michigan alone, 431,000 people were injured in accidents caused by distracted drivers, and 660,000 drivers were using electronic devices while driving on any given day. Young drivers between 16-19 years old account for 1 in 5 cell phone related crashes.

Public service announcements can help reduce distracted driving incidents by educating people on the dangers. Any activity while driving, such as texting, eating, or adjusting the radio is a distraction. In 2012, over 3,000 people were killed and over 400,000 injured in crashes involving distracted drivers, a nine percent increase from 2011. While some critics argue PSAs may not reach all audiences or change behaviors, images in PSAs can be powerful and studies show campaigns have effectively changed unsafe driving habits when they promote strong anti-distracted driving messages that people can relate to.
Rta presentation - Suraya Foundation
The document discusses a non-profit road safety organization called Suraya Foundation that was founded in 2010 after a fashion student named Suraya passed away. It aims to prevent accidents caused by reckless drivers through spreading "sticky" safety messages via mass media campaigns. Statistics presented show that most road deaths involve young productive aged groups between 18-30 and are increasing yearly, with 85% caused by reckless behaviors like speeding, tailgating, and using phones while driving. A proposed emotional radio script highlights the impact of reckless driving through a car crash scene and flatlining heart monitor sound to motivate safer driving. The organization seeks collaboration from other groups like the RTA to conduct effective long-term road safety campaigns and measure their impact through research.

Public service announcements can help reduce distracted driving by educating the public about the dangerous consequences of behaviors such as texting while driving. PSAs reach wide audiences through television and social media and use celebrities to spread their message. However, some drivers, especially teens, believe they are exempt from the risks. Distracted driving causes thousands of deaths and injuries annually. Combining strict laws, enforcement, and effective public education campaigns through PSAs can change unsafe driving behaviors.
Drunk driving
The document discusses advocating against drunk driving in the Philippines. It notes that drinking and driving has become common culture influenced by western customs, and a friend of the author's died in a car accident. The advocacy's goals are to increase awareness of alternatives to drunk driving and promote their use. It suggests marketing strategies like using social media and focusing on benefits rather than features. The "Smart Way Home" app is proposed to provide transportation alternatives like Grab and dial-a-driver services. Promotional ideas include social media posts, posters, and a viral video promoting safer ways to get home after drinking.
Teen driving project
This document discusses the dangers of cell phone use while driving, especially among teen drivers. It provides statistics showing that 21% of distracted teen drivers involved in fatal accidents were distracted by cell phones, and texting increases the likelihood of a crash by 23 times. It also describes organizations like Teens Against Distracted Driving that aim to increase awareness of this issue. The author suggests stronger laws and consequences may be needed to discourage cell phone use while driving.
Distracted driving
Cell phone use, whether talking or texting, is the number one cause of distracted driving according to experts. Even hands-free devices can take attention away from the road and increase crash risk. Drowsiness increases crash risk nearly 4 times, with 37% of drivers reporting having fallen asleep. Having passengers in the car, especially for young drivers, is distracting as passengers can ask drivers to do things. Eating while driving uses both hands, slowing reaction times and increasing crash risk. Multi-tasking like changing music or doing makeup takes eyes off the road for too long, increasing crash risk.
Teen driving project
Jenesa Branford's teen driving project focuses on the issue of drunk driving. Drunk driving poses high risks for teen drivers due to lowered reaction times and a false sense of invincibility. Statistics show that 16-19 year olds have crash rates 2.7 times higher than all ages and alcohol-related crashes for this age group are almost twice as high. Two groups working to address this problem are Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), which prevents underage drinking and supports victims, and Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD), which educates students on resisting peer pressure through meetings and presentations. Jenesa proposes additional technological solutions like cars that can detect impaired driving and automatically call for help

Distracted driving, drunk driving, speeding, reckless driving, nighttime driving, and design defects are some of the main factors that contribute to traffic accidents in the country. Field sobriety tests are used by police to determine impairment, while red light cameras have been shown to reduce fatal crashes at intersections by up to 21%. Driving risks are increased at night due to impaired vision, fatigue, and other visibility issues. Strict enforcement of traffic laws combined with public education efforts are needed to curb accident rates.
Road Safety (Cell Phones)
Driving while using hands-free cell phones is still risky behavior according to this document. While hands-free devices allow drivers to keep their hands on the wheel, they do not eliminate the cognitive distraction of talking on the phone. The brain can only focus on one complex task at a time, so talking on the phone, even hands-free, diverts attention away from the primary task of driving. Studies show hands-free drivers have a narrowed visual scope and miss more objects in their peripheral vision compared to non-distracted drivers. National safety organizations recommend widespread education and legislation to curb cell phone use while driving in order to help reduce the over 1.6 million crashes caused by distracted driving each year.
