A survey by Churchill Motor Insurance reveals that one in five UK secondary school students has experienced a hit or near miss with a vehicle while using their phones. The data shows 84% of students use phones near roads, causing safety concerns as many begin walking alone to school. In response, Churchill launched the "Screen Down, Eyes Up" campaign to raise awareness about the dangers of phone distractions while crossing streets. Road safety remains a collective responsibility, especially during school commutes.
