Wednesday’s PSA - On July 1st it became illegal to hold your phone at all while driving. You cannot place it in your lap. And if the phone falls into the floor, leave it there because it is illegal to reach for it. It’s also illegal to record or stream video while driving.

So keep your hands, minds, and eyes off your phone! #BITZTN #CMSinthezone @FordDSFL @AllstateFDN @AllstateSouth @VUMCchildren

Tuesday’s PSA: According to @CDCgov, there are three types of distracted driving: manual (where you take your hands off the wheel), cognitive (where your mind is not on driving) and visual (where you take your eyes off the road).

[CMS_BITZ @BitzCms]

Some distracted driving only involves 1 type (talking on a hands-free device is a cognitive distraction) but texting, checking email, social media, or other uses of your phone are triple threats. They involve all three types of distraction.
