Interested in Sponsoring Distracted Driving Awareness Month?
April 1 marks the start of Distracted Driving Awareness Month, a time to reflect and commit to focusing on our roads. This annual event was launched in 2012 by the National Safety Council and has since grown into an international effort. Distracted driving is a serious issue that affects us all, whether we are behind the wheel or a pedestrian crossing the street. Throughout this month, we will be raising awareness of this important issue and encouraging everyone to take action to stay safe on our roads. By pledging to put away our phones while driving, we can make a difference in reducing distracted driving-related accidents and fatalities.
Talk to friends and family about your own experiences with distracted driving, or even stories you may have heard from others. Sharing these stories can help raise awareness and encourage people to drive more safely.
Show your commitment to driving without distractions by taking a pledge not to text and drive or use a cell phone while driving. You can also encourage others to join you in taking the pledge.
Share posters, articles, and videos about distracted driving with your friends and family, so they can also learn more about the issue and become aware of the dangers of distracted driving.
Discuss the dangers of distracted driving with your friends, family, and coworkers to help them understand why they should avoid it. Ask them to join you in spreading the message through their social media accounts.
Look for organizations or campaigns that are working to raise awareness about distracted driving and get involved. You can volunteer your time or donate money to help support their efforts.
When drivers are distracted, they are not paying full attention to the road and other vehicles around them, which increases their risk of getting into an accident. Distracted driving is one of the leading causes of death on our roads, so it's important that we pay attention to our surroundings and stay focused while behind the wheel.
By observing Distracted Driving Awareness Month, we can help spread the message that distracted driving is not acceptable and must be stopped. By showing others the risks associated with such behavior, we can help prevent future accidents and save lives.
Distracted Driving Awareness Month also serves as a reminder to be more aware of our actions when behind the wheel. We should always put safety first by keeping our eyes on the road, hands on the wheel, and phones away from us until we’ve safely arrived at our destination.
