Heads Up!

TxDOT is launching a ‘Heads Up’ Texas campaign in April to recognize National Distracted Driving Month in efforts to curb distracted-driving crashes. Over the past three years, a report has consistently shown that nearly one in five wrecks in Texas involved distracted driving. Of those 100,687 crashes, there were approximately 3,500 deaths or injuries. In response to 19 percent of accidents caused by distracted driving in 2017, the TxDOT campaign is partnering with AT&T’s campaign, ‘It Can Wait,’ to educate Texans on the statewide law and the dangers of distracted driving.
