KEEP KIDS ALIVE DRIVE 25® presents Phone Down, Eyes Up, a special public service announcement created in partnership with Ford's Driving Skills for Life and the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA).

With this production, we aim to raise awareness of distracted driving by showing that for all of the joy technology can bring, a person's close relationship with a smartphone can sometimes be too much of a good thing. Check out our new video in this post or view it on YouTube.

Special Thanks

We'd like to thank Ford's Driving Skills for Life and the GHSA for making this production possible, the cast and crew of Phone Down, Eyes Up for for their outstanding work, and Anne and Mike Fenner and the Stark family for allowing us to film in their homes.
