Safety Tips
Summer is drawing to a close and school is starting up again, meaning increased traffic on the roads.
With college students packing up their cars to go back to campus, and parents dropping off and picking up kids from school, the increase in traffic congestion and distracted driving can create dangerous road conditions and contribute to increases in the frequency of auto accidents.
Young drivers are prone to distracted driving, especially with the increase of handheld technology. This is part of the reason why U.S. traffic deaths increased nearly 8 percent from 2014 to 2015, according to data recently released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
That’s why the Property Casualty Insurers Association of America (PCI) has released a list of back-to-school driving safety tips for parents and young drivers, alike. There are distractions all around in the car, and PCI is encouraging drivers to put down their phones and stay focused on the road.
