Headstone Phone - 2026

This campaign highlights the potentially devastating consequences of mobile phone distraction while driving, asking drivers ‘is your next text message really worth your last breath?’
Last updated:
A headstone shaped like a phone on the side of a road. A child's belongings at the base.

The Headstone Phone campaign serves as a poignant reminder to put your phone away while driving because no message, phone call or social media post is worth risking your life or someone else’s while on the road.

Don’t text and drive – Make every journey safe.
