From Mountain View Fire Rescue
Put down the phone and pay attention; April is National Distracted Driving Awareness Month!
Distracted driving is a major threat to roadway safety in Colorado. Distractions such as passengers, food, children, and roadside visuals continue to distract drivers while handheld phones have further exacerbated the issue. According to Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) 92% of Coloradans still admit to driving distracted weekly. Whether you take your eyes off the road for a second or five seconds, it is still considered distracted driving. It may take only a matter of seconds to glance at your phone, but, if you are driving at 60 miles an hour, your eyes were blind to the road while you drove the length of a football field.
MVFR supports CDOT with their campaign asking Coloradans to take a stand against distracted driving. For more information visit CDOT’s campaign and website at https://www.codot.gov/safety/distracteddriving/distraction-reactions-campaign
