Help save lives. Learn more about how you and your organization can share the #JustDrive message every year during Distracted Driving Awareness Month.
Technology allows us to make phone calls, dictate texts or emails and update social media while driving – all actions that are proven to increase crash risk. The National Safety Council observes April as Distracted Driving Awareness Month to draw attention to this epidemic. NSC wants to empower you to put safety first and Just Drive.
WHAT CAN YOU DO?
Share the message!
Create awareness in your workplace, your home or your community by sharing the distracted driving message. Lead a safety meeting or toolbox talk with all employees on the topic of distracted driving. NSC offers infographics, a poster, a fact sheet and a number of social media-friendly graphics.
When you share the Distracted Driving message on social media, be sure to use the hashtag #JustDrive on all your posts, shares, and retweets.
Whether you’re looking to protect your workers, convince someone else of the dangers, keep your family safe, or just make a difference, this is a great way to stay connected.

Create a Safe Driving Policy
A safe driving policy can help your workers understand your organization’s expectations for safe drivers. Use the policy template that the NSC provides as-is or to update your existing policy to help keep your workers safe on every trip behind the wheel. Download the policy template and access the free NSC Safe Driving Kit for a policy guide.
Participating in Distracted Driving Awareness Month is a great opportunity to introduce a new safety driving policy to staff or remind personnel about the safe driving policy your organization already has in place.
