Driving engaged, meaning you have no distractions, makes drivers safer on the road.

Engaged driving helps drivers focus on arriving safely. Here are some ways to encourage a friend or loved one to drive engaged.

“Hey, let's make sure we get there safely. Eyes on the road!”

“I'll handle the music and climate controls, you focus

“If you need to use your phone, let's pull over safely. It'll take less than a minute.”

“Let's focus on the road, yeah? We don't want to put anyone's life in danger!”
