National Distracted Driving Awareness Month
 April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month. According to nhtsa.gov, in 2015 alone, 3,477 people were killed and an additional 391,000 were injured in motor vehicle crashes involving distracted drivers.
The U Drive. U Text. U Pay campaign taking place in April combines education about the dangers of distracted driving with high visibility enforcement. Common distractions include grooming, eating, texting, drinking, and using your smart phone for directions or other types of browsing, all of which will be monitored and ticketed. Texting is considered the most alarming distraction. Sending or reading a text takes your eyes off the road for 5 seconds, which is like driving the length of a football field with your eyes closed.
Everyone can get involved in ending distracted driving: teens, parents, educators, and employers. Employers can spread the word at their workplace about the dangers of distracted driving and set a company policy on distracted driving.
