  1. PSA: Distracted Driving Group 3

  2. Distracted Driving • Driving takes a lot of concentration. It is easy to become distracted. That is why we must avoid things that distract us, such as phones, eating, and multi-tasking. There are a few types of distracted driving: • Visual: taking your eyes off the road. • Manual: taking your hands off the wheel. • Cognitive: taking your mind off what you are doing.

  3. When you drive, you hold not only your life, but the lives of others, in the palms of your hands. Don’t drive distracted.

  4. Statistics • In 2010, nearly one in five crashes (18%) in which someone was injured involved distracted driving.1 • In June 2011, more than 196 billion text messages were sent or received in the US, up nearly 50% from June 2009.1 • A CDC study analyzed 2011 data on distracted driving, including talking, texting, and reading email behind the wheel. The researchers compared the prevalence of talking on a cell phone or texting while driving in the United States and seven European countries: Belgium, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and the United Kingdom. 

  5. Life isn’t a joke, take it seriously.

He may have grown up without his mother because I chose to drive drowsy, and then combined it with driving distracted.”- Diana Roberts, SLCC Student
