911 Driving School Slams Breaks on Distracted Driving
National Driving School Raises Awareness, Funds to Combat Distracted Driving
Driven by the desire to make roads and highways safer through innovative educational programs, 911 Driving School has spearheaded a campaign that combined the power of accountability with philanthropy to shed light on the dangers of distracted driving.
In light of Distracted Driving Awareness Month, 911 Driving School locations across the country encouraged students to pledge to “Call Back Later” (CBL) by putting down their phones and focusing on the road ahead. For each pledge made, the brand made a monetary donation to the National Road Safety Foundation, a 501 (c)(3) non-profit charitable organization dedicated to reducing crashes, deaths and injuries by promoting safe driving behavior.
The month-long #CBLPledge campaign resulted in more than 150 student pledges towards safer driving habits and raised $1,500 for the National Road Safety Foundation.

“Each student who takes the pledges not only helps to keep themselves safer, but also positively impacts their communities safety. The ‘Call Back Later’ campaign’s success is derived 100 percent from students deciding to live safer lives,” said Joe Giammona, CEO of 911 Driving School. “Students understand the impacts of distracted driving and it is because of them that our donation to the National Road Safety Foundation may one day save someone’s life.”
