National Distracted Driving Awareness Month


Apr 1 - Apr 30

Join the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) distracted driving prevention campaign by following and spreading this lifesaving message: Don’t Drive Distracted. Eyes Forward.
 

Safety Tips for Drivers

  • If you are expecting a text message or need to send one that can’t wait, pull over and park your car in a safe location before using your device.
  • Designate your passenger as your “designated texter.” Allow them access to your phone to respond to calls or messages.
  • Do not engage in social media scrolling or messaging while driving.
     

Safety Tip for Passengers

  • Speak up if your friends are texting while driving - tell them to stop.
  • Offer to make calls or respond to messages for the driver.
