(WGNO) – The National Safety Council observes the month of April as Distracted Driving Awareness Month to draw attention to this epidemic.

While technology allows us to make phone calls, dictate texts or emails and update social media while driving, it’s these actions that have proven to increase crash risk.

WGNO’s Distracted Driving Awareness Month Campaign, addresses these issues each Sunday during the Month of April. Be sure to stay tuned to WGNO News at 5pm and 10pm.
