UCLA Transportation: Take The Time

There are roughly 1.7 million rear-end collisions in the U.S. every year. About 17,000 people die in those collisions and another 500,000 are injured.

UCLA Transportation is launching its 7th Annual Be Alert Bruins driver safety campaign this month. With the steady increase in rear-end collisions reported in UCLA's auto loss data, this year's campaign is "Take the Time: Rear-End Collisions Happen in Seconds."

Take our "Take the Time" driver safety quiz or share your best distracted driver stories on our Facebook, Twitter or Instagram pages with #PullOverAndDoThat and be automatically entered to win one of four emergency kits ($49.95 value).
