Stef and sport

Why is Stef Cares striving to combine sports and sportsmen and -women in its fight to stop telephone use and texting behind the wheel? For many reasons. The association was founded in 2019, following the death of Stefan Poirot-Lazarevic. At the tender age of four, little Stefan was a big football fan and, unlike most, loved to play in goal. He also adored watching basketball games and motor racing.

Many of the association’s members work in sectors linked to high-level sport – every day we see how influential sportsmen and -women can be in terms of communicating prevention messages…especially those who are still too young to drive, smartphone users and tomorrow’s drivers. And yet, the most notable studies show that more than 70% of motorists use their phone while driving and that one in ten accidents are caused by phone use.
