Online PR News – 17-March-2011 –Active Insurance agency has joined the statewide campaign to raise aware of the dangers of texting while driving. As of January 2011, the one-year anniversary of the state law that prohibits texting while driving, over 40 percent of drivers did not know that it is illegal to text or e-mail at any time while driving on Illinois roads. Active Insurance agency is reminding their insureds through the Active Insurance newsletter and website of the dangers of driving while distracted. Not only do customers risk being hurt they can also be fined up to $1,000. “When we heard that so many drivers were unaware of the law we knew that meant many of our customers might not know about the law.” said Cindy Garcia the Marketing Director.
According to the Illinois Tollway Authority in Illinois, cell phone distractions, including texting, were the primary or secondary cause of more than 500 vehicle crashes in the first half of 2010. Nationally, nearly 5,500 people died in distracted driving-related crashes and nearly 500,000 were injured in 2009.
