UPDATES

My mom has been busy meeting with city and state leaders throughout Utah this summer working on awareness for No Texting. She met with the Attorney General, Sean Reyes and talked about what it would take to make Utah a hands free state. We feel that a hands free law is the next necessary step in protecting innocent victims from distracted drivers. Cell phones in cars are dangerous. Period. We have also met with city councils to promote the No Texting Signs. We are hoping to get these placed all throughout the state, starting in schools and city & government lots. Several of the high schools in the area have No Texting Banners hanging in the school gyms and out in the football fields to serve as a reminder that 9 people die each day from a distracted driving accident. One of those was our dad, our husband, our son and our friend. Hopefully we can lower that number through awareness, education and enforcement.
