At AAA, driving safety is at the heart of all that we do. We believe distracted driving is unsafe driving. Taking your eyes off the road for just two seconds doubles your chances of being involved in a crash.1
One way to prevent driving distractions is to set your smartphone to "Mute" or turn on the "Do Not Disturb" setting. If your phone does not have that feature in the menu, follow these instructions:
Alcohol-impaired driving remains one of the most significant dangers on our roadways — and driving under the influence of marjuana and medications is becoming more prevalent. Impaired driving not only endangers drivers and their passengers, but also other vehicles, bicyclists and pedestrians.
Drugs and alcohol negatively alter important brain functions you need for driving safely: judgment, motor skills, memory and reaction time. While reductions in impaired driving have been made over the last few decades, much more can be done to reduce alcohol and drug-related crashes, injuries and deaths.
Anything that diverts your attention away from the primary task of driving is a distraction.
Drivers who find themselves stranded can reach AAA by calling or texting "HELP" to 1-800-AAA-HELP, submitting a request via the web, or using the AAA mobile app.
