We’ve all done it before. You’re driving in your car then you get a funny text from the BFF and you just had to quickly type back, “LOL.” No big deal, right? Wrong. Being distracted by anything while driving is a big no-no. Let’s get real, you have to look down at your phone in order to text, which means you’re not looking at the road and all it takes is one accident to really damage someone’s life or even your own. This is one of those times where it’s better to be safe than sorry.

According to Pledge Now TXT L8R texting while driving makes you 23 times more likely to crash. Car crashes kill an average of 11 teenagers each day. Imagine 11 of your Facebook friends dying every day. It’s crazy…and so preventable!

The Pledge Now TXT L8R campaign wants you to take the pledge to not drive while “inTXTicated” and to speak up when you’re in a car with someone who is. Sign up to take the pledge right now and enter to win a free t-shirt!
