Why Do We Need A Revolution?
Distracted driving is both a social and moral problem. In order to attack it, it will take an army of people saying, “My life is worth more…” It will take people being disturbed rather than amused by videos filmed while driving. It will take you replying to your friend, who sent you a Snapchat while driving, saying “That’s not okay - You could have killed yourself, or my loved one.” It will take you being personally offended that when this behavior occurs people are really telling you, “Your life is not as important as this text message I am trying to send or this sandwich I am trying to eat while driving.” The Bandana Army is mobilizing. Will you be on the right side of history? Join our revolution and help us save lives.
How Can I Support the War Effort?
The essence of any successful revolution is passion. In order to create a more powerful resistance, we need your help in spreading the word! Our mission not only depends on you taking a firm stance against distracted driving yourself, but sharing the knowledge with your friends and family.
