Distracted Driving Awareness
The Lutzie 43 Foundation exists to reduce the number of distracted driving incidents, ultimately diminishing the number of deaths caused by unsafe driving. The foundation fulfills this mission by encouraging and empowering young people to be positive ambassadors for safe driving, carried out through our 43 Key Seconds initiative.
Ways to Get Involved
Purchase a 43 Key Seconds key for yourself, your family and friends. The physical 43 Key Seconds Key serves as a reminder for drivers to stop and prioritize safety when they get in the car. Whether or not they have heard of Philip or our foundation, the key is a recognizable symbol representing distracted, impaired and unsafe driving awareness and prevention.
Participate in our social media #43KeySeconds Challenge. Post a photo of someone you love or something you love on social media with the hashtag #43KeySeconds Challenge and a caption about driving safely in honor of the people and things you love.
Pledge to not take part in distracted driving, to stop and prioritize safety before you start your car, and to not allow devices, emotions, fatigue, drugs or alcohol to endanger your life or the lives of others on the road. Sign our 43 Key Seconds Safe Driving Pledge.
