Today, we celebrate focused drivers.

Here’s to you! For keeping your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel. Safety looks good on you!

Things you already know: .

Driving is a complex task that uses most of your brain’s capacity and focus. Have you ever turned down your music while driving in order to “see” the road better? This is because you inherently recognize that any sort of distraction, whether it’s visual or cognitive, impairs your ability to drive safely.

Taking your eyes off of the road for more than two seconds doubles your risk of a crash.

Glancing down at your phone while going down I-485 or I-40 is like driving the length of the Panther’s Stadium with your eyes closed. #NotWorthIt

There are too many things happening on the road to do anything but pay full attention.

Thank you for keeping yourself and those around you safe.

Thank you for keeping your eyes on the road and hands on the wheel.
