(1/2) Did you know? Construction crews will be working on road enhancements on Toll 49 from US 69 N. to I-20 over the next few weeks. Work will take place nightly from 8pm to 6am to help minimize impacts to drivers.
Next time you pass a work zone, remember, there's a real person on the other side of those cones. 馃毀 Slow down. Move over. Put the phone down. Our crews deserve to go home safe. #TakeActionAgainstDistraction #YourMindInDrive @IBTTA netrma.org/drivesmart/
Here's the real question: Where do people learn distracted driving? 馃憖 75% of teens say from their parents. Texting, eating, scrolling, they're watching everything we do behind the wheel. #TakeActionAgainstDistraction #YourMindInDrive @IBTTA netrma.org/drivesmart/
We talk a lot about texting & driving, but distracted driving is more than that. Even daydreaming can be dangerous. Our woodland friend, Buck, knows firsthand how pointless distracted driving is. 馃馃尣 #TakeActionAgainstDistraction #YourMindInDrive @IBTTA netrma.org/drivesmart/
The road doesn't pause when you do. Neither does the wildlife, the family in the next lane, or the unexpected turn ahead. Stay present. Stay focused. Put the phone down and drive safe out there. #TakeActionAgainstDistraction #YourMindInDrive @IBTTA netrma.org/drivesmart/
One moment of distraction can change everything. We're proud to support @IBTTA鈥檚 Global Road Safety Week & the #BeSafeTogether campaign.馃 Put #YourMindInDrive because your attention is your important safety feature. Together, we can create safer roads. besafetogether.org/#
