Go Mono

Turning distracted driving into a shared responsibility

In the Netherlands, traffic accidents were increasing. The main cause? Distracted driving. A tough one because we all know how hard it is to resist our phones, and research has shown that phone addiction and FOMO can’t be solved overnight. So how to prevent distracted driving?

An incoming message is just too hard to ignore. So we made distracted driving a collective responsibility — don’t distract someone whom you know is on the road. A powerful shift that opened the debate about phone usage in traffic.

This message was the starting point of a new 10-year lasting government campaign, we called Mono. This means one, and that is exactly what you should do on the road, just drive or bike.
