During April, the National Safety Council is leading an effort to raise awareness about the dangers of distracted driving in workplaces, homes and communities.
Talking on a cell phone—even hands-free—or texting diverts your attention away from driving. On a typical day, eight people are killed and hundreds more are injured in distraction-affected crashes. The National Safety Council encourages employers to create a distracted driving program and engage their workforces with communications and resources.
