DriveHealthy looks to reduce distracted driving
Who are Oregon’s safest
drivers? That’s what a new
campaign created by the
American
Automobile
Association (AAA) of Oregon
/Idaho, Oregon Department of
Transportation (ODOT) and
the Oregon State Police seeks
to discover.
DriveHealthy’s aim is to
help reduce the incidence of
distracted driving in Oregon
by introducing friendly com-
petition.
A recent survey found that
while
69
percent
of
Oregonians are very uncom-
fortable riding with a driver
who is sending a text mes-
sage, 72 percent admit to
driving distracted themselves.
In Oregon, on average
eight people are hurt or killed
by a distracted driver each
day. This has contributed to
the largest increase in traffic
fatalities in Oregon in a
decade.
At the same time, cell
phone use in vehicles has
strong addictive properties:
Changing this behavior will
be difficult.
“We’re connected to each
other socially with technolo-
gy,” said ODOT Director
Matthew Garrett. “And the
fact is, that connection does-
n’t stop when we get behind
the wheel. So we want to
replace the addiction to the
phone by using those same
social connections, combined
with immediate feedback on
driving and friendly competi-
tion.”
Garrett explained how the
program works.
“You get with your closest
friends, family or co-workers
and form a group. Your group
works together to beat others
in the same category — like
schools, civic clubs, religious
organizations or co-workers
at other Oregon businesses.
You can also compete on your
own as an Oregon resident,”
he saod.
Organizations can register
at www.DriveHealthy.org.
They can download a free app
from Lifesaver, lifesaver-
app.com, and the competition
begins.
Each month is a new
opportunity to compete.
Will it be effective? Data
suggests that a recent similar
campaign in Boston reduced
distracted driving among par-
ticipants by 47 percent.
By not opening your phone
while driving, you keep your
score high. At the end of each
month, the groups with the
highest scores win bragging
rights on the DriveHealthy
website.
“We’re convinced,” said
Garrett, “that while technolo-
gy helped create the problem,
technology can also help pro-
vide a solution to distracted
driving.”
DriveHealthy started as the
result of a statewide task
force, which also recom-
mended passage of tougher
cell-phone laws.
House Bill 2597 takes
effect Sunday, Oct. 1, and,
among
other
changes,
increases the penalty for
using a mobile electronic
device while driving to
$2,000.
Businesses, corporations,
organizations and media out-
lets
can
support
the
DriveHealthy campaign in a
variety of ways:
1. Adopt the campaign as a
cause for your organization.
2. Sponsor media promo-
tion for DriveHealthy in your
local market.
3. Sponsor monthly re-
wards for the best drivers.
For information on how to
sponsor DriveHealthy month-
ly rewards, contact LifeSaver
at info@lifesaver-app.com.
For information on how to
adopt DriveHealthy in your
community, contact Tom
Fuller by phone at 503-986-

Florence couple arrested
for marijuana trafficking
B Y N ED H ICKSON
Siuslaw News
EDWARDSVILLE, ILL.
— Illinois State Police arrest-
ed Florence residents Donald
A. Weaver, 56, and Tonja L.
Weaver, 55, after a traffic stop
in Edwardsville, Ill., turned
up drugs and cash.
The Weavers were charged
with marijuana trafficking
and possession with intent to
deliver.
On Sept. 12, the couple was
traveling on Interstate 55
when Illinois State Police
stopped them for speeding
and improper lane usage.
After receiving permission
from Donald Weaver to
search the pick-up truck and a
flatbed trailer it was towing,
the trooper, assisted by a
canine unit, discovered a hid-
den compartment where
police reportedly found more
than 5,000 grams of marijua-
na.
Further investigation led to
the discovery of $4,500 in the
truck, which was seized by
agents with the Metropolitan
Enforcement
Group
of
Southwestern Illinois.
Local authorities filed a
civil suit in order to take pos-
session of the property under
state law, which allows assets
to be forfeited when connect-
ed with drug offenses.
Bail of $75,000 each was
issued by the judge, with the
Weavers posting the required
$7,500 each before being
released Sept. 18.
Both are awaiting a court
date in October.
