April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month and it is a united effort to recognize the dangers and eliminate preventable deaths from distracted driving. Distraction can come in many forms. Texting, using navigation apps, eating and drinking, grooming, reading, talking to passengers or changing the radio station. Even just thinking about other things, other than the task at hand, can cause distraction.
Most people know not to drink and drive, but that’s not true for distracted driving. It is the leading factor in most crashes and it is 100% preventable so don’t get distracted - #justdrive.

We are heading into severe weather season for Texas and along with that comes severe thunderstorms and possible heavy rains.
Don’t underestimate the power and force of water. Remember, it’s never safe to drive or walk into any kind of flood waters.
- Just six inches of swiftly moving water can sweep you off your feet. If flowing water is above your ankles, stop, turn around, and go another way.
- If you are caught on a flooded road and waters are rising rapidly around you, get out of the car quickly and move to higher ground. Most cars can be swept away by less than two feet of moving water.
- Danger can lurk in the water: downed lines or other debris may not be easily visible. If you see a downed line, move at least ten feet away from it – or anything touching it. If you’re driving and your car comes in contact with a downed line, stay in your car.
Don’t let floods, thunderstorms, or tornadoes take you by surprise this season. Be prepared and stay weather aware.
