How to fight distracted driving, and WIN
Distraction is everywhere. We think we can multitask, but the truth is we can’t. We weren’t designed to multitask. It’s like having too many windows open on your computer. Your reaction time slows down. From the inside, you don’t realize it, but it’s definitely noticeable.
Hey guys, When was the last time you checked your phone while driving? Were your kids in the back seat?
