Spending a Second on Your Phone Could Equal a Life-Changing Mistake
In 2017, distracted driving claimed 3,166 lives. While there was an 8% decrease in fatalities in 2017 from 2016, there is still a lot of work to do to end these preventable tragedies.
Whether you are on the phone, texting, checking your hair, or reaching down for a burger and fries, you are robbing yourself of seconds that can be the difference between a close call and a deadly crash.
Regardless of the law in your state, you should be asking yourself, “What can I do? And how do I keep my family safe?”
Distracted Driving Awareness Month is a great time to reflect on the choices that you make while behind the wheel and to take action in your community to help stop distracted driving.
