April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month. Distracted driving has become a deadly epidemic on our roads. Cell phone use — specifically, texting, talking, and social media use — has become the most common distraction. Other risky actions include adjusting the radio or GPS, applying makeup, eating and drinking. By driving distracted, you’re robbing yourself of seconds that you may need to avoid a close call or deadly crash.
During this time, expect to see heightened distracted driving enforcement nationwide from police.
Take action today, and pledge to stop driving distracted. Commit yourself to saving lives by never texting or using your phone while driving and speak up when you see others distracted.
