FocusDriven welcomes newest board member Jacy Good. In May 2008, Jacy and her parents were driving home after her graduation from Muhlenberg College in Allentown. It was a route that they had driven countless times during Jacy's four years there. On this day, however, the Good family was in a crash caused by a distracted driver that resulted in a head on collision with a tractor trailer. Jacy's mother and father, Jean and Jay Good, were killed. Jacy was in critical condition and spent four months in the hospital. The accident has left Jacy with permanent injuries, but thankfully she survived. Over the course of the past two years, Jacy has courageously shared her story and worked to educate the public about the dangers associated with distracted driving.

Each year, thousands of families suffer the loss of loved ones needlessly at the hands of drivers distracted by their cell phones. Whether texting, using hands-free or handheld phones, these drivers not only put their lives on the line, but they risk killing others on the road.

FocusDriven provides victims of cell phone distracted drivers, and their friends and families, with an outlet for sharing their stories. We also provide those interested in this issue with opportunities to get involved.

FocusDriven can help you petition your state legislation; educate your friends, families and coworkers about the hazards of distracted driving; or share your story with state representatives to help support legislation for safer roadways.

FocusDriven supporters and advocates know, and many have experienced, the very real consequences of drivers distracted by their cell phones. We ask you to make the pledge to not drive distracted, share what you learn on our site with those you know and get involved to help make our nation’s roads safer.
