April is Safe Driving Awareness Month

FREDERIKSTED – April is dedicated to raising awareness about the dangers of impaired and distracted driving.

Every year, countless lives are needlessly lost due to these preventable behaviors on the road. It’s time for collective action to make a difference on our roadways.

Impaired driving, whether due to alcohol, drugs, or medication, significantly increases the

risk of crashes. Even a small amount can impair judgment, reaction time, and coordination,

putting everyone on the road at risk.

Distracted driving, often caused by texting, talking on the phone, eating, rubbernecking, or

adjusting the radio while driving, poses another significant threat. Just a moment of

distraction can lead to devastating consequences.
