Eyes Up

Distracted driving is more than just a bad habit; it’s a public safety crisis. At Accountable Driving, we’re on a mission to keep drivers focused on the road, one decision at a time. Today, we want to share why keeping your eyes up is the most straightforward yet most powerful step you can take toward safer driving.

Did you know that taking your eyes off the road for just five seconds at 55 mph is like driving the length of a football field blindfolded? Yet, thousands of drivers take this risk daily by glancing at their phones. The consequences are staggering. Distracted driving contributes to nearly 1 in 5 car crashes, and over 3,000 lives are lost annually in the U.S. due to preventable distractions.

But there’s hope. Committing to “eyes up” driving will protect yourself and set an example for others. Simple changes—like enabling do-not-disturb modes or using hands-free technology—can make a world of difference.

Join us at Accountable Driving as we make the roads safer for everyone. Explore resources, tips, and tools designed to empower you to drive distraction-free. Visit www.accountabledriving.com today and take the first step toward a safer tomorrow.
