Wrecks happen all day every day, and the statistics are frightening. Being a safe, smart driver protects not only you, but others on the road. Just yesterday, I was reading an article about bus driver who was distracted by his GPS. He consequently drove the bus into a bridge, killing four people. What a tragedy. Four precious lives were lost due to distraction.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in 2008 alone, 5,870 people died and more than a half-million were hurt in crashes caused my distracted drivers. What distracts us? The obvious ones come to mind: texting, phone calls, a GPS. Not so obvious: eating on the go, touching up your make-up, reading an email. If we all stop being distracted drivers, these 5,870 people would still be with us today.
Distracted driving includes the following three main types of distraction (NHTSA):
Visual – taking your eyes off the road
Manual – taking your hands off the wheel
Cognitive – taking your mind off of driving
How many times have you arrived at your destination unable to even remember your drive? At some point, driving becomes so commonplace, we forget the danger it can cause. At Dallas Courier, we believe that safety is our first priority. We want to take care of ourselves and others on the road.
Let’s all keep in mind that driving distracted is only asking for trouble. That text message or phone call can wait, your life is at stake.
