April is National Distracted Driving Awareness Month , which serves as a great reminder to focus on our driving habits and the choices we make when we are on the roadway .
Distracted driving has become a deadly epidemic on our roadways , with cell phone use the most common distraction . Other risky actions include adjusting the radio or GPS , applying makeup , eating or drinking . By driving distracted , you are putting yourself and others at risk , and losing out on the seconds you may need to avoid a close call or deadly crash . Let ’ s all do our part to keep our roadways safe .
Safety tips :
• Pull over and park your car in a safe location to send a text message .
• Designate a passenger as your designated texter to respond to calls or messages .
• Do not scroll through apps while driving . If you are tempted , put your phone in the trunk , glove box or back seat of the vehicle until you arrive at your destination .
