A Message On Distracted Driving
Too Fast…Too Distracted…Too Often
Picture this… Warm weather is finally here, you’re cruising down the highway, window down, a tune from your past on the radio…as you speed up, time seems to slow down. Life is great, the moment is almost perfect.
Your phone dings…you have a message. Your next action could be the difference between a dream day and a nightmare.
As we head into better weather, we get busier, the roads get busier. As part of this increase, we see more young people on the roads, some for their first summer of “transportation freedom”. While none of us are perfect, young drivers have historically been more susceptible to speeding and to distracted driving, often simultaneously. Along with the rest of us, they can be too fast, too distracted, too often.
I never responded much to a lecture… Lord knows I have had a few. That being said, we all need to find a way to share the message and keep everyone focused on our behaviors if we plan to improve.
Following are a couple of quick videos that might drive the point home for those of us that really need it and could serve as a great reminder for the rest.
Please feel free to share if you have a young person in your life, or someone else who might benefit from a reminder.
Thanks to Paul W. for sharing the first video and being the trigger for me to write this note.
Wishing you all a safe and perfect summer...
