Making Roadway Safety Everyone’s Priority
With more than 40,000 U.S. roadway deaths attributed to unsafe driving each year, our nation’s safety depends on the cooperation of state and federal transportation as well as public safety agencies combined with commercial and personal vehicle owners and their drivers to work together to adopt practices geared to reduce the frequency of these incidents.
TAKE 43 KEY SECONDS TO COMPLETE THE SAFE DRIVING CHECKLIST:
- Ensure you have a clear head - one that is not affected by alcohol, drugs, emotions or fatigue.
- Have clear hands - send a text, adjust the radio and put all devices away so you can drive hands-free.
- Have clear eyes - set your sights on the road ahead. Do not look to the side at a passenger or down at a text.
- Finally, click your seatbelt. It’s the law and could save your life!
Philip Lutzenkirchen
Philip Lutzenkirchen was a student-athlete both at Lassiter High School and Auburn University, yet his impact on the world went far beyond football. He was a loving son, brother, and friend. He was kind, generous and someone who went out of his way to help others. Tragically, Philip was killed in a distracted driving accident in 2014 that inspired the formation of the Lutzie 43 Foundation. Though Philip has departed from us in this world, his legacy will never be forgotten.
