Nationwide Auto Insurance on Driving While Distracted

A Nationwide auto insurance survey discovered that 8 out of 10 Americans would support legislation restricting cell phone usage while driving according to the article “Nationwide Insurance, NASCAR Drivers, Encourage Students to Stop Driving Distracted” by Gayle Saunders found on reuters.com.

Nationwide Insurance has teamed up with Johnson C. Smith University, NASCAR’s Kyle Petty, NASCAR Nationwide Series driver Trevor Bayne and NASCAR’s Drive for Diversity Michael Cherry to support the rise of awareness for DWD (Driving While Distracted). Not only does driving while you are distracted put lives at risk, but it can end up costing you a lot of money on your auto insurance quotes if you are in an accident or pulled over.

The survey that Nationwide auto insurance completed showed that 80% of Americans favor a ban on texting while driving and 2/3 of Americans support the ban of phone calls while over 50% say they support a ban of cell phone use altogether. Nationwide and their partnerships are bringing together an educational campaign to spread the message about how dangerous it is to drive while distracted. Nationwide is committed to helping their customers stay safe and protect what matters most to them.
