Rich Jacobs, Board Member Drive Safe Hampton Roads
Distracted Driving Awareness Month
Most of us probably believe we're good drivers, but being a good driver is more than just not speeding, obeying traffic signals, and that sort of thing. It's your focus when you're behind the wheel, your focus on the task of driving and anything else that you do, and we're all guilty of it. We can all do better.
But anything else you do behind the wheel, especially fiddling with one of these, is distracted driving and takes away your focus from the task of driving.
We encourage you, and we ask you to please think about some things that you do behind the wheel that you could stop doing to be a safer driver. And during this month of April, stop doing them. Maybe it'll become a good habit.
