Each August, Stop On Red Week<\/a> is observed across the country. Created by the Federal Highway Administration<\/a> (FHA) in 1995, Stop on Red is designed to educate the public and drivers about the severity of traffic collisions and how fundamental safety at red lights and stop signs can save thousands of lives. Stop on Red Week 2022 begins August 7, and as it approaches, it is an important reminder to revisit the basics that make the road safer for us all. For companies with fleet vehicles, it\u2019s especially critical to implement tech that safeguards their drivers and assets.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text disabled_on=”|off|” admin_label=”Blog Intro Text” _builder_version=”4.17.6″ text_font=”||||||||” link_font=”|700|||on||||” header_font=”||||||||” header_2_font=”|700|||||||” header_2_font_size=”36px” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”||20px||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”||30px||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”||0px||false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” header_2_font_size_tablet=”36px” header_2_font_size_phone=”20px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Following basic traffic rules might seem obvious, yet at least 50 million people<\/a> are injured or disabled by road traffic crashes every year. In fact, even with all the safety upgrades to vehicles and new technology to help drivers, road crashes are the leading cause of death in the U.S. for people under age 54. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), collisions resulting from red light safety violations were responsible for 11,877 deaths between 2004 and 2018, and an additional 139,000 people were injured.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Blog Title” _builder_version=”4.17.6″ header_font=”||||||||” header_text_color=”#275c8d” header_2_font=”||||||||” header_2_text_color=”#275c8d” header_2_font_size=”40px” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”50px||10px||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”0px|||” custom_margin_last_edited=”off|desktop” custom_padding=”||||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”||30px||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”||0px||false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” header_font_size_tablet=”” header_font_size_phone=”24″ header_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” header_2_font_tablet=”||||||||” header_2_font_phone=”|600|||||||” header_2_font_last_edited=”on|phone” header_2_font_size_tablet=”40px” header_2_font_size_phone=”20px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text disabled_on=”|off|” admin_label=”Blog Intro Text” _builder_version=”4.17.6″ text_font=”||||||||” link_font=”|700|||on||||” header_font=”||||||||” header_2_font=”|700|||||||” header_2_font_size=”36px” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”||20px||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”||30px||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”||0px||false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” header_2_font_size_tablet=”36px” header_2_font_size_phone=”20px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n According to the NHTSA, distracted driving claimed 3,142 lives in 2020<\/a> and injured more than 420,000 drivers. It\u2019s not hard to believe that one of the leading causes of distracted driving is our cell phones\u2014the National Safety Council reported that cellphone use accounted for 27% of all car accidents<\/a>. That\u2019s unsurprising because, at 55 MPH, a quick glance to read or send a text diverts attention from the road for five seconds, long enough to travel the length of a football field. In fact, cellphone use behind the wheel increases the risk of a crash by 165%<\/a>.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_code _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”50px||50px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]Put Down the Phone<\/b><\/h2>\n
