North Carolina Alliance for Safe Transportation

Insurance Commissioner Mike Causey joined other traffic safety advocates in Charlotte today to highlight the dangers of distracted driving and raise awareness that April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month. Among the speakers was NCAST Chair Tiffany Wright, who emphasized that distracted driving goes beyond texting or just using a phone. Even eating behind the wheel or adjusting the radio can take your attention off the road and put lives at risk. facebook.com/share/v/1HpCBx… @NCSHP @NCDOI

Thanks to @wsoctv for spotlighting our Candidates for Safe Driving campaign. We’ve asked candidates to sign up as “Candidates for Safe Driving” and be leaders on the roads. Wear your seatbelt. Don’t look at your phone. Obey the speed limit and other traffic laws. Make sure any campaign workers or volunteers driving you do the same. In the segment, NCAST Executive Director Joe Stewart reminds viewers to put the phone down and stay focused on the road.

We want you — and everyone else — to get there SAFE! ❤️ ⚫ Turn on Do Not Disturb ⚫ Set an auto reply ⚫ Pull over in a safe spot Put the Phone Away or Pay

Welcome to the April edition of Safe Travels NC! April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month. Resolve to refocus on the most important thing you can do behind the wheel: Focus on being behind the wheel. In this issue, you’ll hear from Rep. Stephen Ross on his support of the Hands Free NC Act, learn how something as common as tailgating can quickly become dangerous, and revisit the importance of the “two-second rule” when following another vehicle. We also take a moment to honor two North Carolina State Highway Patrol troopers who tragically lost their lives on our roads in recent months. Thank you for reading—and for doing your part to help keep North Carolina’s roads safe. safetravelsnc.org/apr26 @_NCAST_ @drivesafe @RoadAwareness @NCSHP
