Distracted driving has become a major issue on our roadways. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 315,157 people were injured in 2024 due to distracted driving.

The Lutzie 43 Foundation, founded by Mike Lutzenkirchen, encourages every driver to take 43 Key Seconds to set yourself up for a safe trip — for you and for everyone else on the road.

✔️ Clear Hands

Mike lost his son, Philip, who played tight end at Auburn University, in a motor vehicle accident in 2014. Mike's mission is to raise awareness of and put an end to distracted, impaired, and unsafe driving.

Remember, if you take your eyes off the road for more than two seconds, your crash risk increases.

Let's all do our part to make our roadways safer and take this issue seriously.
