April is Distracted Driving Month

Honda’s creative ad in honor of Distracted Driving Awareness Month does a nice job of getting across the important message: Don’t text and drive!

The National Safety Council offers these tips to help avoid distracted driving:

• Stop using cell phones while driving.
• Recognize that hands-free devices offer no safety benefit.
• Understand the dangers of the cognitive distraction to the brain.
• Tell others about the dangers of cell phone distracted driving.
