Illinois CRR Learning Lab Live - End Distracted Driving

Join us on August 4th for the next Illinois CRR Learning Lab Live event for a presentation that is sure to change your driving habits and give you talking points to convince others that distracted driving, even for a second, is not safe or acceptable and can change lives forever.

Distracted driving causes thousands of deaths annually in the U.S., with over 3,200 fatalities reported in 2024 alone. This is a risk facing every community!

Following the death of his daughter Casey, Joel Feldman transformed his grief into a mission to combat distracted driving. He founded End Distracted Driving (EndDD.org), an organization dedicated to raising awareness about the dangers of distracted driving. Through his efforts, he has delivered over 1,000 presentations to students, parents, and professionals across the United States, emphasizing the importance of focused driving and the consequences of distractions.
