Distracted Driving Is Never OK. Take the It Can Wait Pledge

AT&T’s It Can Wait campaign shares a simple message: Keep your eyes on the road, not on your phone.

Since AT&T first launched its It Can Wait campaign, the company has helped inspire more than 11 million pledges by individuals to not drive distracted. It’s because of grassroots efforts by more than 2,500 organizations that so many people have pledged to not drive distracted.

While getting to 11 million pledges is a great accomplishment, AT&T is not stopping there. There is more work to do to end this deadly epidemic, which has grown from texting while driving to emailing, social networking and taking selfies behind the wheel.

AT&T is asking Floridians to come together and pledge that they will never put the lives of our loved ones – or anyone’s loved ones – at risk by using our smartphones while driving.

AT&T team members in Tampa are challenging the Jacksonville region to see who can drive the most pledges to not drive distracted. We are asking YOU to show that you stand against distracted driving.

The Pledge:

• I pledge to care for those around me and put my phone down while I’m driving.
• I pledge to share the message: Distracted driving is never OK.
• I pledge to be aware that I’m never alone on the road.

How to Pledge:

Text: “ICWTampa” or "ICWJax" to 50555

Share the message on social media with #ItCanWait

The challenge runs through Nov. 7. (After that date, pledges can be made at ItCanWait.com.)
