Part of the summer Drop the Distraction campaign, the games are a series of educational and engaging activities that correlate with eye-opening distracted driving statistics. Games include the Tricycle Texting Test, Multitasking Myth, Distraction Patrol and more.

Teenage drivers, or those soon to earn their learner’s permit, are encouraged to stop by The Distraction Games to learn about the dangers of distracted driving. Upon completion, they will be offered prizes donated by partners and the opportunity to sign a pledge board, committing to drive distraction-free.
