Distracted Driving A Clear and Present Danger

Distracted Driving A Clear and Present Danger

Charleston, SC – According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), distracted driving is up over 500% and is the #1 cause of work-related deaths in the USA. (OSHA)

The OMW National Traffic Safety Team has determined that distracted driving is a “Clear and Present Danger” to our communities. The Team has also stated that all companies have a responsibility to protect their employees and communities from this preventable tragedy.

 

We need to change people’s thinking and promote positive actions…

To put this in perspective, imagine if you saw someone drinking a bottle of Vodka while driving. You would probably be shocked, panicked and scared, and you would want them to stop immediately. But did you know that distracted driving is 6x more dangerous than drinking and driving? According to a study by the University of Utah.
