They may be the first words all young drivers hear – keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel. It's still very good advice, but today cell phones and text messages are competing for the attention of teenagers on the road.
Ford Driving Skills for Life (DSFL) has teamed up with the National Organizations of Youth Safety (NOYS) to help keep young drivers from becoming distracted drivers.Ford was a lead sponsor of the NOYS Distracted Driving Prevention Leadership Team, which recently attended the National Distracted Driving Summit in Washington, D.C. The summit was hosted by the U.S. Department Transportation, which reports a quarter of all teens admit to texting behind the wheel. In 2009, the highest proportion of distracted drivers in fatal crashes was under the age of 20.
