| In 2017, distracted driving claimed 3,166 lives. While there was an 8% decrease in fatalities in 2017 from 2016, there is still a lot of work to do to end these preventable tragedies. Whether you are on the phone, texting, checking your hair, or reaching down for a burger and fries, you are robbing yourself of seconds that can be the difference between a close call and a deadly crash. Regardless of the law in your state, you should be asking yourself, "What can I do? And how do I keep my family safe?" Distracted Driving Awareness Month is a great time to reflect on the choices that you make while behind the wheel and to take action in your community to help stop distracted driving. Join us on April 30 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. as we tweet about the dangers of distracted driving. One conversation, one share, or one retweet could save the life of a loved one.
