Why StopDistractions Was Created: A Phone Call Killed My Mother He was on the phone for less than a minute.
That’s all it took.
A movement born from the loss of a mother in a preventable crash. It's the drunk driving of our time.
And we can stop it.

Shelley didn’t just lose her daughter Erica to distracted driving. She turned that loss into a national movement by helping establish National Distracted Driving Awareness Month.
One mother.
One story.
One decision to fight back.

NH: Distracted driving is a major factor in crashes. With traffic fatalities up 36% in less than a decade, downgrading the law from primary to secondary enforcement would be a costly & deadly step backward. Read our letter opposing HB 411 here: saferoads.org/2025-nh-hb-411…

There's a crisis on our roadways. We lose as many people to vehicle crashes as we do to gun violence in this country—about 40,000 people a year.
Let us remember the lives of those we've lost on our roadways and recommit to keeping our roads safe. We all have a role to play.
