MDX Launches "Make the Pledge" Safety Campaign
MIAMI - (BUSINESS WIRE) - The Miami-Dade
Expressway Authority (MDX) launched the second phase of its Holiday
Safety Campaign by asking drivers to "Make
The Pledge" to drive safer this July 4th weekend. Drivers
can log onto www.mdxsafety.com
and pledge to be the safest driver on the road, stay alert and avoid
distractions.
If you use your mirror to check your lipstick, use your cell phone to
text your friends or daydream about being a rock star while driving, you
are a distracted driver. Distracted drivers play a part in one out of
every four crashes - that's 1.5 million collisions a year and more than
4,300 crashes each day.
MDX's
year-long safety
campaign, launched earlier this year during Memorial weekend, will
include radio commercials, printed ads and a new site (www.mdxsafety.com)
encouraging drivers to stay alert and keep the roads of South Florida
safe. MDX's
commitment to safety is top priority in moving the community forward.
