Drivers can activate a phone setting to block notifications while their vehicle is in motion. On the iPhone it’s called “Do Not Disturb While Driving.” Our Travelers Risk Index found that only 15% of drivers currently use this setting. #EverySecondMatters #JustDrive21

A8: Get rid of distractions before putting the car in drive. Put the phone in your glove box, clear your mind, & prepare to take on the road. #JustDrive21 @NSCsafety

Remind your parents to not drive distracted.
"It's for work" is not an excuse to be on the phone behind the wheel.

A3: Mornings can be hectic, so it may be tempting to check those last-minute work emails while heading out for the day. Don’t fall into the temptation! Wait until you arrive at your destination or pull over to check your devices. #JustDrive21 @NSCsafety

Rushing to make a meeting when you might be late. Just say you are running late. Better than getting into a crash. #JustDrive21

A2: Many people think that distracted driving is just using your phone behind the wheel, but anything can be a distraction! Eating, billboards, & even other passengers can cause distractions. #JustDrive21 @NSCsafety

It's been 1 year since #HandsFree became the law in Massachusetts. 30,000 people were pulled over in 2020. Don't be one of them in 2021. Put phones on silent and out of reach. We will be holding a "No Phone Zone" challenge in April for #DistractedDrivingAwarenessMonth #justdrive

Wood County Safe Communities announced on Tuesday that there have been zero fatal crashes in 2021, as well as zero this same time in 2020.
This month is “No Phone February.”

They say it takes 30 days to form a habit-- "No Phone February" is a great idea, getting you used to putting the phone away before putting the car in drive. buff.ly/3pY0aZm
