(Pittsburgh, PA) AAA East Central is introducing the campaign #ActionAgainstDistraction to help drivers let go of distractions completely. AAA East Central states in a release that during a 55 mile per hour drive, when someone takes their eyes from the road for five seconds, it’s like driving a football field length while wearing a blindfold. According to a release from AAA East Central, driving distracted can be as deadly as impaired and drowsy driving, so the company is recommending drivers to do these actions:

  • Utilize the Driving Focus feature on smartphones to minimize distractions.
  • Pull over safely to make a call or send a text.
  • While a passenger, speak up if the driver of the vehicle is distracted.
  • Put phones out of sight to reduce temptation.
  • Program GPS before starting a trip, not while driving.
  • Ask passengers for help with navigation, calls, or texts.
  • Don’t be a distraction—avoid calling or texting others while they’re driving.
