April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month, and if you need a wake-up call about just how dangerous it is to take your eyes off the road, even just for a second, think about the following facts. Did you know that at just 55 mph, a car travels approximately the length of a football field in five seconds — the time it takes to glance at a text message. Now, think about how many times you’ve looked down to check a notification, switch a song, or even glance at your GPS. That’s all it takes for a split-second mistake to turn into a life-altering accident. How to Break the Habit of Distracted Driving We get it — our phones are practically an extension of ourselves. But behind the wheel, they need to take a back seat (literally). Here are four ways to stay focused and avoid the urge to check your phone. • Use the ‘do not disturb while driving’ feature. Today, most smartphones offer a setting that automatically sends a text message reply when you’re driving. Something as simple as “I’m driving right now, I’ll get back to you soon!” can stop friends and family from expecting an immediate response. • Put your phone in the glove box. When it’s out of sight, it’s out of mind. If you physically remove your phone from reach before you start driving, you won’t be tempted to sneak a quick glance. • Designate a co-pilot. If you’re traveling with someone, let them handle the texts, music, and GPS. No one will judge you for asking for help when it comes to safety. • Plan before you drive. Set your GPS, choose your playlist, and send any last-minute texts before putting the car in drive. That way, there’s no need to reach for your phone at all. No text, notification, or song change is worth risking your life or someone else’s. Distracted driving can have devastating consequences in a matter of seconds. So, next time you’re behind the wheel, make the smart choice: Put the phone down and focus on the road. The Dangers of Distracted Driving A Text Can Wait — Your Life Can’t
