DO THIS
NOT THIS
NOT THIS
Yeah, he
looks…busy
NOT driving
Let’s look at this MORECLOSELY
Every day, there are accidents caused
by drivers who aren’t paying attention
Driving while distracted is a factor in
25 percent of police reported crashes
The No.1 source of driver inattention
is use of a wireless device.
Drivers that use cell phones are four
times as likely to get into crashes
serious enough to injure themselves

Don’t do it. Never. Ever.
OK, so how do you define
multi-tasking?
Any time you
don’t have
both hands
on the wheel
Any time you
don’t have
both hands
on the wheel
But I don’t have hands…
For example
Don’t use a
handheld device
to surf the web,
email or text.
But hands-free
or bluetooth
devices are
totally OK!

I can work with that.
Since I have no hands.
Don’t futz with
your radio, iPod or
GPS, because it
means your eyes
are off the road.
Don’t turn your car into a bathroom.
Finish your grooming before you leave.
Do not eat or drink while driving. That’s why
they make parking spaces near drive-thrus.
Do not look for anything inside the car –
your gum, your iPod in the glove box
or gym bag in the backseat
If you must do any of these things
(and let’s face it, you will)
pull over and stop the car
in a safe area like a parking lot
That also means
don’t multi-task when
you’re at a stop-light.
You need to be
paying attention.
If you must do any of these things
(and let’s face it, you are)
pull over and stop the car
in a safe area like a parking lotSo in summary
If you must do any of these things
(and let’s face it, you are)
pull over and stop the car

Wait for it…It rhymes!
So in summary
If you must do any of these things
(and let’s face it, you are)
pull over and stop the car
in a safe area like a parking lot
When should you multi-task?
Not now. Not then. Not
who knows when.
If you must do any of these things
(and let’s face it, you are)
pull over and stop the car
in a safe area like a parking lot
When should you multi-task?
Not in an express lane.
Not in the rain.
Not waiting for
a passing train.
If you must do any of these things
(and let’s face it, you are)
pull over and stop the car
in a safe area like a parking lot
When should you multi-task?
Not on a motorcycle.
Not in an SUV.
Not even in an Infiniti.
If you must do any of these things
(and let’s face it, you are)
pull over and stop the car
in a safe area like a parking lot
When should you multi-task?
Not before, during
or after work.
Or when honking
at the speeding jerk.
If you must do any of these things
(and let’s face it, you are)
pull over and stop the car
in a safe area like a parking lot
When should you multi-task?
Not in the future.
Not in the past.
Not especially with
your arm in a cast.
