April: the harbinger of spring, renewal, and possibility.<\/p>\n
Flowers are blooming, families plan new adventures, and baseball fans across the country await Opening Day, full of hope that this will be their year.<\/p>\n
April is also Distracted Driving Awareness Month<\/a>, a time for all drivers to examine their road habits and take responsibility for their choices while behind the wheel. For fleets, it means reassessing driver safety fundamentals, a re-emphasis on driver coaching, and implementing techniques and technologies that can reduce accidents, improve efficiency, and save money.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text disabled_on=”|off|” admin_label=”Blog Intro Text” _builder_version=”4.16.0″ text_font=”||||||||” link_font=”|700|||on||||” header_font=”||||||||” header_2_font=”|700|||||||” header_2_font_size=”36px” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”||30px||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”||0px||false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” header_2_font_size_tablet=”36px” header_2_font_size_phone=”20px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Distracted driving\u2014any activity that diverts attention from the task of safe driving\u2014has become a significant danger, with cell phones the leading culprit.<\/p>\n According to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA), distracted driving claimed 3,142 lives in 2020<\/a> and injured more than 420,000 drivers. The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety<\/a> found that distracted driving is responsible for nearly 60% of teen crashes, and the National Safety Council reported that cellphone use accounted for 27% of all car accidents<\/a>. That\u2019s unsurprising because, at 55 MPH, a quick glance to read or send a text diverts attention from the road for five seconds, long enough to travel the length of a football field. In fact, cellphone use behind the wheel increases the risk of a crash by 165%<\/a>.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.gpsinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Football-Field.jpg” alt=”Football-Field” title_text=”Football-Field” _builder_version=”4.16.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”30px||30px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text disabled_on=”|off|” admin_label=”Blog Intro Text” _builder_version=”4.16.0″ text_font=”||||||||” link_font=”|700|||on||||” header_font=”||||||||” header_2_font=”|700|||||||” header_2_font_size=”36px” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”||30px||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”||0px||false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” header_2_font_size_tablet=”36px” header_2_font_size_phone=”20px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Unfortunately, drivers tend to think their behavior on the road isn\u2019t the problem.

According to the Network of Employers for Traffic Safety (NETS), crashes caused by distracted driving cost employers $18.8 billion in 2018<\/a>.<\/p>\n To begin with, it is not just your drivers you have to worry about. Younger drivers that grew up living on their phones and electronic devices have carried those bad habits to the road and\u2014as noted above\u201470% of drivers admit to using a mobile device while behind the wheel. One or more of those distracted drivers may be one lane over from your vehicle.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.gpsinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Distracted-Driving-Awareness_700x500.jpg” alt=”Distracted Driving Awareness” title_text=”Distracted Driving Awareness” _builder_version=”4.16.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”30px||30px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text disabled_on=”|off|” admin_label=”Blog Intro Text” _builder_version=”4.16.0″ text_font=”||||||||” link_font=”|700|||on||||” header_font=”||||||||” header_2_font=”|700|||||||” header_2_font_size=”36px” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”||30px||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”||0px||false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” header_2_font_size_tablet=”36px” header_2_font_size_phone=”22px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Of course, not all distracted driving incidents lead to an accident, but it can still be costly to your operation.

Fleet managers do not want the hassle that comes with messing with wiring on a vehicle they do not own. This would also make it cumbersome to move the devices from vehicle to vehicle as new reps leave and come on board or as vehicles get traded in.<\/p>[caption id=\"attachment_1989\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"300\"] The Garmin fleet 590 device plugs into the cigarette lighter for power and ignition on\/off recognition.
