Hello All,
April 1st begins the nation's first Distracted Driving Awareness Month, after it was officially designated by a near-unanimous vote in Congress last March. A number of localities and states have adopted a “zero tolerance” enforcement policy for the month.
U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood noted that a quarter of all teens admit to texting behind the wheel and, in 2009, the highest proportion of distracted drivers in fatal crashes was under the age of 20. He has called distracted driving "a national epidemic."
Traffic crashes are the number one cause of death among U.S. teens, with 5,000 young people killed annually and thousands more injured.
So keep those cell phones in your purse or jacket so you are not even tempted to answer a call or text message, don't worry whoever it is will leave a message.
Drive Carefully.............H
