• Set the example, let your family and friends see you not allowing distractions to interfere with your driving.
• Offer to send messages or answer phone calls for drivers. 
• If your driver is texting or otherwise distracted, tell them to stop and focus on the road.
• Set your phone to 'Do Not Disturb' while driving.
• Ask your friends to join you in pledging not to drive distracted. You could save a life. Share your pledge on social media to spread the word — #JustDrive
