THE TRAGEDY OF DISTRACTED DRIVING
ave you ever taken your eyes off the road while
driving? In 2016, distracted driving claimed 3,450
lives and injured 391,000 others, according to the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If you
are driving at 55 miles an hour, taking your eyes off the road
for just five seconds is equivalent to traveling the entire length
of a football field while blindfolded. Driving a vehicle is a huge
personal freedom, but many people forget just how dangerous
it can be. Any driver can be susceptible to distractions, and the
decisions you make while driving can have negative effects on
you and the lives of others you share the road with.
As one of the Pittsburgh area’s largest independently owned
collision and mechanical shops, ARS Automotive has seen the
damage caused by distracted driving firsthand. As the school
year approaches, new student drivers will be hitting the road for
the first time, and new drivers are much less likely to understand
the consequences of distracted driving. We want to remind
everyone that using your phone, checking your GPS, eating,
drinking or even just talking to a passenger can cause distracted
driving. Before you decide to take your eyes off the road, ask
yourself – Is it worth it?
The vehicle pictured is just one result of distracted driving,
which led to the tragic loss of a young man’s life. The owner of
ARS Automotive is a friend of that young man’s father, showing
how the results of distracted driving can affect anyone —
including you.
