Distracted Driving.

The National Distracted Driving Awareness event on April 6th was a great success. A simulator in a full size car was brought into the hospital lobby for people to test drive in order to see how long it took before they crashed. Personal testimonies were presented by family members who had lost people in accidents due to such distractions. Law enforcement officers were also there to provide information. Teachers, students and parents all had a chance to participate in this great community effort through discussions of the dangers of distracted driving, making posters to present at the event, and participation in driving the simulator.
