Distracted driving is a growing safety risk and a major cause of automobile crashes.
In fact, 28 percent of all traffic accidents are caused by drivers talking on their cell phones and/or sending text messages which accounts for roughly 1.4 million crashes.
In an effort to bring awareness to this growing problem, Gordon & Gordon Law Firm LLC, NBC 6, KSHV 45 and Arklatexhomepage.com have created the Just Drive campaign.
Just Drive highlights the dangers of distracted driving and remind drivers that it is now illegal to user their phone while driving.
