Wipeout: The Pledge Car
Wipeout is Texder’s hot rod. 12 feet of corrugated plastic and all-American street muscle. She’s had a few makeovers over the years — that’s what happens when you’ve been in as many crashes and Texder and his crew.
Take the pledge and sign your name directly onto Wipeout. It’s a tangible way to reinforce your commitment to avoid distracted driving.
Texder’s Lessons
Texting and driving is bad, but other driving distractions can be just as dangerous. Simple things like eating, adjusting the radio or even daydreaming can cause a crash. Texder and his crew demonstrate exactly what NOT to do behind the wheel.

Comprehensive
Most people are aware of the dangers of texting and driving. However, not everyone is aware that daydreaming is the biggest distraction, or that simple things like eating or changing the radio station can be dangerous. Texder’s Crusade addresses the most common driving distractions.

Too often, distracted driving campaigns focus on negativity and scare tactics, which studies have shown to be ineffective. The pledge car, lessons, and team building challenges help change behaviors with positive messaging and engaging activities that people want to talk about.
