Distracted Driving kills. Distracted drivers kill. Put your phone down. Keep your eyes on the road. Do not ever think that you are a good enough driver to be able to do two things, you are not. No one is.
Drivers who talk or text on the phone are 23x more likely to be involved in a crash.
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
In the Blink of a Fly’s primary focus on distracted driving prevention. The best crash is the one that doesn’t happen. The one that doesn’t leave anyone without out their spouse, father, mother, daughter, son, sister, brother, or friend.
Let’s stay safe, and keep our families safe. Keep our farmers safe. Other drivers on the road safe. Everyone wants to see tomorrow, do not be the reason that someone is not able to. #EyesUpPhoneDown
Our distracted driving laws and consequences need to change, and we are working on that. But I would much rather the crash not of have happened than to be worrying about what the offender gets for killing someone. Let us make the right choice together.
Our Impact
- We have done dozens of distracted driving presentations in schools, businesses, and community groups.
- Static Cling flies are available in many locations and can be ordered on our site, these are placed inside your car as a reminder to pay attention and not to drive distracted.
- iPhone wallpapers are available for free download. Remember, it can wait. There is nothing on your phone that is worth taking a life over.
- Sharing our roads with farmers is vital. We need to keep them safe and protected so they can do their job. Learn about our portable billboard and yard sign campaign in conjunction with Shelby County Farm Bureau.
- Add a Facebook Frame to your profile picture to help remind people to keep their phone down
