SAFE 2 SAVE App Awards, Encourages Undistracted Driving

An avoidable car crash involving a college student texting while driving and striking another student out for a jog inspired Marci Corry to become practiced in finding a solution to prevent distracted driving.

“I was in a terrible car crash myself, in college,” Corry said. “I had fallen asleep at the wheel, which is a type of distracted driving.”

After hearing about the wreck involving the jogger, Corry said, “I could not sit on my hands and I had to do something proactive.”

The answer to the problem was the same as the issue, the phone in the driver’s hands.

“Putting the cell phone down could change Orange,” Corry said. “One in five crashes involve distracted drivers.”

Distracted drivers is the highest preventable death in the nation for all people under the age of 54.
