Spring is the time of year when temperatures start to rise and thoughts turn to upcoming day trips and summer vacations. In fact, [AAA](http://newsroom.aaa.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Memorial%20Day%20Travel%20Forecast2012.pdf) reported that this time last year nearly 35 million Americans were planning Memorial Day road trips to celebrate the unofficial start of the summer.

And, as we prepare for more cars on the road, it is important to remember to take precautions to stay safe behind the wheel. This week, Verizon is joining forces with AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and a number of other businesses and community organizations to help promote safe driving through [It Can Wait](http://itcanwait.com/). The campaign urges drivers to [pledge](http://itcanwait.com/) not to text and drive and provides resources and tools to help prevent distracted driving.
