Distracted driving isn't just dangerous, it can be deadly. Driver inattention is the leading cause of fatal crashes in New Jersey.

Losing an hour of sleep may not seem like a big deal, but changes to sleeping patterns can be dangerous and even deadly. Drowsy driving contributed to an estimated 697 fatalities nationwide in 2019.

Drivers must move over one lane if possible. On a single-lane road, drivers must allow a 4-foot safety zone when passing. If they cannot provide 4 feet of space, they must slow down to 25 mph and be prepared to stop until they can safely pass without endangering those sharing the road.

Clocks fall back an hour on Sunday morning, marking the end of Daylight Saving Time. While an hour might not seem like a long time, it can be enough to mess up your sleep pattern, which can lead to drowsy driving.

This month Street Smart NJ reached a major milestone — exceeding 200 pedestrian safety campaign partners, including municipalities, counties and colleges across the state.
