April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month. Started by the National Safety Council, the month serves as a way to raise awareness about the danger of distracted driving. During the month, the National Safety Council encourages people to take a pledge that they will be a focused driver. The council also provides resources to share, and even a free webinar to teach drivers how to handle distractions and avoid other distracted drivers on the road.

Florida is considered the 2nd worst state for distracted driving, with Floridians admitting to being on their phones during 41% of all trips. Unfortunately, it isn’t just phones that are distracting drivers. Eating, talking on the phone, GPS, and even being lost in thought can all distract a motorist from the most important task at hand: driving. https://www.weinsteininjurylawyer.com/distracted-driving-awareness/
