Driver safety is paramount and distracted driving is an unfortunate reality in this modern digital age. The attorneys at The Charles E. Boyk Law Offices, LLC urge all drivers to put away any and all distractions and give your full attention to the road way.
Don’t ever text and drive, keep the volume at a reasonable level to hear approaching emergency vehicles, and plan your route ahead of time. If a GPS device is required to find your destination, then use the voice feature so your full attention is on driving and not looking at the device.
