Keep your eyes on the road folks.
Road safety officials constantly preach the importance of the need to keep concentrated behind the wheel and avoiding all possible distractions, particularly from your mobile phone.
Harsher punishments for being caught on your phone is one way to increase awareness, another is the type of video released by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety in the States.
The AAA’s video contains a number of clips of what happened to teenage drivers who were distracted behind the wheel and while the consequences weren’t too serious in any of the cases, it’s terrifying to think what could have happened.
Be safe on the road lads, your phone can wait.
