Staying Alive on Florida’s Roadways

Dori Saves Lives, a nonprofit organization, is in its eleventh year of hosting the Staying Alive on Florida’s Roadways event. Approximately 200 law enforcement officers, local officials and local residents gathered to raise awareness of distracted and reckless driving. Additionally, the event also focuses on law enforcements role in enforcing driving laws.

Families shared stories about how reckless driving has impacted them, and thanked the officers who have made a difference in their lives.

Dori Saves Lives was founded following the death of a teen in 1996. Since then, families have come forward to share their own stories of losing a family member as a result of a careless driver. Reckless driving does not just impact victims, it also impacts their families and friends.

For event speakers, the event serves as a way to lobby legislators to make tougher laws such as increasing penalties for those caught texting and driving.

The attorneys at Gordon & Partners commend the work of events such as these. With countless lives being impacted by reckless driving each day, more needs to be done to protect motorists, pedestrians and cyclists.
