Since you have your cellphone with you basically all the time, it’s hard not to glance at it to see if you have any texts, respond to a quick message, or check a news headline as you drive, especially if you feel like there’s no one else around. But distracted driving in any form can severely compromise your safety and the safety of other people. April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month, and we want everyone to learn more about this dangerous behavior to help us keep the roads here in North Carolina safe.
You can reduce your likelihood of distracted driving by putting your phone on “drive” mode when you get in the car, putting your phone on the backseat instead of keeping it up front with you, using hands-free technology, and texting your friends and family before you pull out of your driveway or parking spot. At Legacy Insurance Partners, we encourage you to stay safe and avoid distracted driving not only during Distracted Driving Awareness Month, but every time you get behind the wheel.
