Distracted Driving Awareness Month – Smart Dogs?

April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month

Love ’em or Hate ’em (and believe us, we’ve got some mixed emotions in that area), Geico’s advertising firm(s) comes up with funny stuff.

Now here’s the real message and the harsh reality:

Every day, at least nine Americans die and 100 are injured in distracted driving crashes.

Cell phones, dashboard touchscreens, voice commands and other in-vehicle technologies pose a threat to our safety. Consequences of those distractions are not worth the convenience they offer. Ignore the distractions and #justdrive.

Distracted Driving Awareness Month in April is a united effort to recognize the dangers of and eliminate preventable deaths from distracted driving. Join us to help save lives.

National Safety Council: Our Mission is Safety – The National Safety Council eliminates preventable deaths at work, in homes and communities, and on the road through leadership, research, education and advocacy.

We’ve covered Distracted Driving before here at Johnny’s Custom Auto Body…and will likely cover it again next year.

PLEASE….DON’T TEXT and DRIVE!
