5 Reasons You Should Implement a Distracted Driving Policy
Did you know that a driver going just 25 mph can travel the length of four football fields during the time it takes to enter an address into a navigation app? And navigation systems are just one of the many causes of distracted driving. Cell phones, radios, other in-vehicle technologies and eating can take drivers’ eyes and minds off the road for dangerous stretches of time. Even hands-free devices compete for drivers’ attention and can lead to big problems. Social media is another factor, with drivers engaging with sites like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat and even taking (and posting) videos and photos from behind the wheel. Research shows that as many as seven in 10 people use their smartphone while driving and four in 10 use social media while on the road. Some even shoot video from behind the wheel, with 27% saying they "can do it safely while driving." As many as one in three U.S. adults admits to using some kind of technology while driving, and the numbers are likely higher. With that many distracted drivers on the road, it's likely that many of them are your employees. Does your company have a distracted driving policy? If not, here are five reasons to consider implementing one.
