Atlanta-based Good2Go Auto Insurance (Good2Go) will integrate LifeSaver’s mobile app into its Cell Phone Safety Discount Program as part of a new partnership to fight distracted driving.


Joe DeLago, CEO of Good2Go, said: "Distracted driving continues to be a threat to our public safety. Thousands of people are dying each year and hundreds of thousands more are becoming injured. In our effort to fight against distracted driving, and help reduce driver risks, we researched distracted driving solutions and decided LifeSaver offers the best solution. With the LifeSaver mobile app, Good2Go Auto Insurance's direct policyholders now have a simple way to ignore the urge to use their phones while driving. This type of technology is vital if we are to continue to combat this epidemic.”

Ted Chen, LifeSaver's co-founder, said: "With the rising costs of auto insurance, consumers now have a way to be rewarded with a driver safety discount that's measurable and effective at reducing driver distraction. Using LifeSaver to get the Good2Go Cell Phone Safety Discount is analogous to installing a smoke alarm to get your home insurance safety discount. We are proud to partner with Good2Go in pioneering the concept of the Cell Phone Safety Discount and we hope that other insurers will join them in this approach to stem the tide of the distracted driving epidemic."
