Did you know April is distracted driving awareness month?
In 2016, distracted drivers killed 3,450 people, down slightly from the 3,477 killed in 2015. Although legislative efforts continue to curb distracted driving induced by technology, cell phone use behind the wheel persists. In Wisconsin and 46 other states, texting while driving is illegal. Throughout the month of April, various safety organizations work towards shedding light on the issue and promoting safe driving.
