Each year, distracted driving contributes to more than 26,000 injuries and 180 fatalities on Maryland roads. It’s also a leading factor in work zone crashes. MDOT MVA’s Highway Safety Office launched the “Be the Focused Driver” campaign in 2020 and works with law enforcement officials to encourage motorists to put down distractions and give driving their full attention when behind the wheel. To support work zone safety, the Highway Safety Office created new graphics reminding motorists to “Be the Focused Driver” when approaching and driving in work zones.

MDOT MVA’s Highway Safety Office has consolidated available resources for the Move Over law change on October 1, 2022 to include new collateral. These resources will provide you with social media content to share, raising awareness about the upcoming change to the Move Over law, requiring that motorists move over or slow down for all vehicles on the roadside.

MDOT MVA’s Highway Safety Office has developed a simple social media toolkit for the month of April that will provide you with social media content to share, raising awareness about key road safety issues including impaired driving, distracted driving, motorcyclist safety, and pedestrian/bicyclist safety. Help spread the word to your followers by sharing this content and campaign hashtags on your social media accounts.
