Why Take the SAFE Driver Pledge

Good Question! Thank you for asking. Here's why you should take the S.A.F.E. Driver Challenge, pledging to the Arkansas Traffic Safety Cause of reducing traffic crash deaths and serious injuries.

All lives are valuable. At the Arkansas State Police Highway Safety Office, we honor the lives lost on our roadways by seeking to provide more and more evidence based solutions to the multi-layered problems of fatal traffic crashes. When you take the S.A.F.E. Driver Pledge below you are essentially taking personal responsibility for your safe driving choices and informing others that “Safe Driving is a choice.” In this way, we all share in responsibility to the traveling public to seek safer Arkansas roadways.
