TextLess Live More is the nations only organization to address the correlation between distracted driving and distracted living. TextLess Live More was founded by friends of Merritt Levitan, an 18-year-old who lost her life on July 3, 2013 to a distracted driver who was texting behind the wheel. Merritt died because of 4 seconds of texting. She is the inspiration behind our mission. Distracted driving happens because of three different kinds of distraction: visual, manual, and cognitive. Visual distractions take our eyes off the road. Manual distractions make us take our hands off the wheel. Cognitive distractions drag our minds away from our driving. Using a phone while driving is particularly dangerous because it causes all three kinds of distraction. Ending distracted driving and promoting digital wellness go hand in hand. We know our desire to be constantly connected can have serious repercussions when we are behind the wheel. This culture of online connectedness also contributes to what we call distracted living, where our dependence on communication technology affects our focus and overall well being. We believe that changing our individual digital habits can change our culture of distracted living, prevent distraction behind the wheel, and save lives. TextLess Live More empowers young people nationwide to engage in meaningful dialogue to change behaviors and create communities working towards working towards healthy digital habitsboth in and outside of the car.
