We all want our teens to return home safely for the holidays – and every day. Unfortunately, research tells us the holidays are one of the deadliest times of the year for teen drivers, and texting is one of the most dangerous distractions facing teens today.
Recently launched is the "X the TXT: Thumbs Up to the Safest Holiday Ever," a national public awareness campaign aimed at minimizing texting while driving.

You can go online to get involved and find teen safe driving resources from Allstate. Click here where you can download a family pledge brochure to help you start a discussion about safe driving. You and your teens can also pledge not to text and drive at http://www.facebook.com/thumbsuppledge.
We hope teens and parents will take personal action to help save lives this holiday season and beyond. This campaign is the latest in our long-standing commitment to promoting teen safe driving.
As always, I am happy to discuss safe driving with your teen. I wish you and your family a safe and happy holiday season.
