Hang up The Phone: April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month

Housing and Development Newsletter “Not driving distracted is a simple, but significant behavior change,” Farmer said. “The goal is to increase compliance with the hands-free cell phone law and keep people safe.” Under current law, drivers are not allowed to hold a phone or other electronic device while behind the wheel. Motorists under age 18 are not allowed to use a phone for any reason, including hands-free. If you need to make a call or send a text, pull over and park at a safe location, the Police Department said. Drivers should silence their phones or put the phone out of reach, such as the glove box or trunk.

April is Distracted Driver Awareness Month

Distractions are not limited to cellular phones. Other electronics, children, pets, and eating or drinking while driving can also divert attention and result in a crash. –The California Highway Patrol (CHP), California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS), and Impact Teen Drivers (ITD) are working together this April to remind Californians of the dangers of not giving the road their full attention when behind the wheel as part of Distracted Driving Awareness Month. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports 3,142 people were killed in motor vehicle crashes involving distracted drivers in 2019 nationwide. That same year in California, there were at least 18,698 crashes from distracted driving that resulted in 108 deaths and more than 13,500 injuries.
