Driving a vehicle is a huge responsibility and deserves all your attention. Just a quick glance at your phone can lead to an accident and, according to the NHTSA, over 32,000 people died in crashes involving distracted drivers from 2013-2022. Make a commitment to safe driving by following these tips:
- If you have to text, pull over to a safe location and park your car — only then should you read or send the text message.
- Distracted driving isn’t just texting, scrolling through social media or messaging while driving is distracted driving too.
- Appoint your passenger as the “designated texter” to respond to calls or messages.
- Activate your phone’s “Do Not Disturb” feature, silence notifications, or your put phone away in the trunk so you won't be tempted to respond.
- Speak up if you see someone texting and driving and ask them to put their phone away.
