Drive safe. Drive present. Lead by example.
Distracted driving is a dangerous and common occurrence on today’s roadways. Technology, like smartphones, is part of the problem, but any activity that diverts attention from driving presents a risk. Our Every Second Matters® initiative empowers drivers, passengers, cyclists and pedestrians to speak up, set positive examples and play an active role in changing roadway behaviors to help prevent injuries and save lives.
To recognize Distracted Driving Awareness Month in April, this session in the Wednesdays with Woodward® webinar series convened thought leaders in public health communication for a look into the art and science of behavior change.
