Heads up, folks. Fire Chief Albert Headrick wants drivers in the city to know Community Safety officers are currently cracking down on distracted driving.
We are constantly bombarded with the message, “the only thing you should be doing behind the wheel is driving.” It’s a common sense message but one most of think we are above. We all believe we can successfully multi-task while driving and that over-inflated view of our own abilities can easily get us in trouble. Even a second’s inattention while adjusting the heat or the radio can lead to big trouble. So, something truly distracting like applying makeup, chatting or texting on the phone are even greater contributors to the catastrophe factor.
So, pay attention to your driving, and if the CSOs nab you, you can’t say I didn’t warn you.
