Common distractions include texting, phone calls, eating, drinking, talking to passengers, reading maps or a navigation system. In 2014 in the US, over 3,000 people were killed and 431,000 injured in crashes involving distracted driving.

4. SO, WE WERE CURIOUS AS TO
HOW THE
MAU FAMILY FELT ABOUT
DISTRACTED DRIVING…
Here’s What We
Found Out!

10. DO YOU KNOW HOW YOU WOULD
ANSWER THE QUESTIONS?

11. Only use your cell phone
or smartphone in
emergency situations.
And even in the event of
an emergency, pull over
to make a call.

12. Avoid eating while
driving. Life gets busy and
grabbing food “on the go”
may seem like the best
option, but wait until
you’re back at home or
the office to eat that
sandwich.

13. If you get sleepy, pull of
the road. Drowsiness
increases the risk of a
crash by nearly 4 times.
If you are tired, instead
of trying to get home
quicker, get off the road.

14. Multitasking is better at
home or work. Time in the
car may seem like the
perfect chance to get
some things done. Resist
the temptation, turn on
some music, focus on the
road, and enjoy the ride.

15. Leave make-up and hair
prep in the bathroom. We
all know how rushed
mornings can get. Hit
snooze less to give
yourself extra time to get
ready before hitting the
road.

16. Live
Safety!
Now You’re Ready to Hit the Road
and always remember to…
