FRSC: parents and distracted driving

As a parent, you have the biggest influence on your child’s life. If they see you driving while distracted, then they will assume that it’s okay for them to do as well.

Before starting the car, you should:
• Respond to any texts or calls that need answering.
• Make sure your kids are buckled in correctly.
• Determine the correct address and route
• Finish whatever you’re eating/drinking.
• Finish doing your makeup.
• Choose the music and temperature you want for the drive.
• Make sure you are in good state of mind to drive.
Keeping your full attention on driving will ensure you and your children’s safety, now and when they too begin driving.
