Distracted Driving Awareness

Thu, Sep 3

Distracted Driving Awareness What Is Distracted Driving? Distracted driving is any activity that diverts attention from driving, including talking or texting on your phone, eating and drinking, talking to people in your vehicle, fiddling with the stereo, entertainment, or navigation system — anything that takes your attention away from the task of safe driving. Texting is the most alarming distraction. Sending or reading a text takes your eyes off the road for 5 seconds. You cannot drive safely unless the task of driving has your full attention. Distracted drivers aren’t just a threat to themselves; they are a danger to everyone else on the road. Make the commitment to drive phone-free today. Encourage friends and family to drive phone-free.
