TIPS FOR SAFE DRIVING FROM THE LAW OFFICES OF JEFFREY J. KROLL

March 5, 2010, by Jeffrey J. Kroll

In observance of National Collision Awareness Month, School Transportation News featured attorney Jeffrey J. Kroll in an article promoting safe driving tips. The article (which can be read in its entirety here), provides the following simple safety recommendations:

• Eliminate distractions while driving. Focus on the road, not the backseat or that hot cup of coffee, when you are behind the wheel.
• Don't multitask while driving. Never text or email. Also, refrain from adjusting the radio, applying makeup or snacking. Taking your eyes off the road, even for a second, can create a lifetime of loss.
• Keep your vehicle clean. Keep the area near your accelerator and brakes free from debris.
• Don't ever drive impaired. Call a friend, take a taxi, or use public transportation if you feel you are unable to drive for any reason.
• Drive with your headlights on, even during the day.

The Law Offices of Jeffrey J. Kroll encourages all drivers to take the time this month to evaluate their driving practices in an effort to make our roads safer.
