April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month
Confession time; I didn't until recently activate the "Do Not Disturb" while driving function on my iPhone. It even works if I'm not the one driving. It's that good. I'm confessing all this because April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month.
More than 40,000 people were killed on our highways last year with distracted driving being one of the main contributors. Most state laws ban texting and driving, including in Kentucky and in Indiana. Illinois bans hand-held devices while driving.
HERE is the Just Drive pledge.
