April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month, a reminder that we all need to do what we can to drive as safely as possible. These tips can help increase your awareness on the road and avoid accidents related to distracted driving.

🚗 Make a passenger your co-pilot. Let them handle texts, directions, or any other important task so you can keep both hands on the wheel and eyes on the road.

🚗 Avoid multitasking. Eating, putting on makeup, or digging around in a bag can pull your attention from driving. Plan a quick stop if you have a task you must complete.

🚗 Guard your attention. If your mind starts to wander as you drive, pull over and do a quick reset by taking a few deep breaths and refocus on the road.

🚗Pull over to assist children. If you’re driving alone with children and they need attention, it’s best practice to pull into a safe spot rather than turn around or take your eyes off the road.

While these tips can help improve your safety while you’re on the road, it’s impossible to avoid accidents outright. That’s where we come in. Give us a call today, and we can help you find the right auto coverage to help protect you in the event of an accident.

April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month, making now a good time to take stock of how you’re driving. Distracted driving can start with how you set up your car before you drive, so we wanted to share a few tips that can help you hit the road distraction-free:

🚗 Set up before you roll. Adjust your seat, mirrors, climate, and audio to your liking while parked.

🚗 Put the phone away. Keep it out of reach, or use your phone’s “Do Not Disturb” feature while driving. If something cannot wait, pull over first.

🚗 Keep the cabin calm. Secure loose items, cap drinks, and restrain pets before you hit the road.

Driving safely is one piece of the puzzle, and the other is comprehensive auto coverage. We’re here to talk you through any auto insurance questions you may have. Give us a call, and we can get started.
