June is #NationalSafetyMonth: Roadway Safety #GPSjobs
What roadway safety all about? It means making smart, responsible choices behind the wheel, staying alert, avoiding distractions and driving with care. Did you know that distracted driving kills eight people every day? Distractions can be anything from texting, checking your navigation system or eating to changing music, or having conversations.
And it’s not just distractions. Fatigue, stress, alcohol and drugs can all seriously impair your ability to drive safely. Unsafe driving behaviors like speeding, tailgating and frequent lane changes increase your risk of a crash. Be especially cautious in work zones and around large trucks. Always stop for school buses with flashing lights and stay alert for children nearby. Give plenty of space to cyclists and motorcyclists and stay focused every mile of the way.
Safe driving starts with you. Drive like lives depend on it because they do!
