Labelmaster, a U.S.-based manufacturer of safety and regulatory compliance products, has a series of labels designed to be prominently displayed on the visor, dashboard or windshield of motor vehicles to remind all drivers of the dangers of texting while driving. Driver distraction is one of the major causes of vehicle crashes. Research compiled by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) attributed an estimated 6,000 deaths and 500,000 injuries to distracted driving in 2008 alone.

This behavior is not only dangerous, but in many states it is illegal. According to the Department of Transportation, 26 states have passed a texting ban law. On October 1, 2009 President Obama issued an executive order prohibiting federal employees from texting while operating government-owned vehicles and equipment. In addition to the Obama Administration's ban on texting for federal employees, the U.S. Department of Transportation has banned texting for all commercial and truck drivers, with similar rules in the works for rail operators.

Operators of any commercial, company, or public vehicles would benefit from these highly visible "No Texting" reminders. Using these labels in vehicles that transport or provide driver training to teens and young adults is also a good way to get the message out to this target audience.

Labelmaster's "No Texting" labels are printed in bright red and black ink on a white background. They are available in durable PVC-free vinyl in 4" x 6" and 2" x 1" sizes, 3" diameter heavyweight coated paper and 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" cling vinyl that is perfect for application to the inside of the vehicle's windshield.
