Man Rides 16,000 Miles to Raise Cell Phone Danger Awareness

[speed]

One Man. One Bike. 16,000 Miles and one mission: to highlight risks of cell phone use While driving.

US Nationwide - Tony Anschutz is on a mission to save lives. On August 17 Tony will begin a solo, two-month, 16,000-mile motorcycle adventure to raise awareness about the dangers of cell phone use while driving - a behavior that causes 636,000 crashes and 2,600 deaths annually. Tony's "Ride the Americas" trip will take him through North American crossroads and big cities, where he will stop to meet people and advance the National Safety Council's call for a nationwide ban on cell phone use while driving.

For Tony, the mission is personal. Tony learned of the risk of cell phone use while driving through the loss of a 12-year-old boy named Joe, the son of Tony's friend Dave Teater.
