“Headstone Phone” campaign calls out deadly driving distractions

Is your next text message worth your last breath?

The Road Safety Commission is making drivers in Western Australia rethink their phone habits with a hard-hitting campaign tackling mobile distraction behind the wheel.

The centrepiece of the campaign, the “Headstone Phone” installation which went on display in shopping centres.

According to the organisation – taking your eyes off the road for just two seconds at 60km/h means you’ve effectively driven blindfolded for 33 metres.

The campaign urges drivers to put their phones away and focus on the road, because no message is worth a life.
