Distracted Driving Still on the Rise, Especially Among Teens
According to AAA, Americans drive the fewest miles during the winter months. Once April rolls around and the sun shines a bit brighter, the mileage goes up as we shake off the winter doldrums. More miles behind the wheel also means there are more chances to become distracted. And unfortunately, distracted driving – like texting, talking, eating, adjusting a radio, checking a map, applying makeup and many more – can have deadly consequences.
As we enter April and Driving Distracted Awareness Month 2016, we note sadly that the number of injuries and deaths from driving distracted continues to rise, especially among teenagers.
