NC insurance commissioner: Avoid distracted driving; keep your focus on the road
Mike Causey
We recently completed Distracted Driving Awareness Month in April. But it is my hope that the emphasis we’ve placed on getting drivers to avoid distractions and keep their eyes on the road and their hands on the wheel will be something they remember every time they get in the driver’s seat.
As your insurance commissioner, I want to do everything I can to keep tragedies caused by distracted driving from happening as much as possible. This also holds down automobile insurance rates.
When drivers get distracted by texting or using cell phones, setting a GPS, changing the radio station, eating, drinking, putting on makeup or tending to a child in the car, accidents happen. We know that distracted driving crashes put upward pressure on insurance premium rates.
