Arrive alive! Don’t text and drive! Focus on the road Milwaukee!

As personal injury attorneys in Milwaukee we have seen too many bikers and motorists injured, even killed during an accident with a distracted driver.  What you can do to stop the epidemic of distracted driving?  At Hupy & Abraham, we believe that prevention is key.  If we work together to spread the word about the dangers of distracted driving, we can and will prevent needless car and motorcycle accidents.   

One program that has been very effective just across the state line in Illinois targets teens.  The program, Operation Teen Safe Driver, operates in high schools across the state.  Schools compete for top honors that reflect the work the students have done in spreading the word about distracted driving.

Another program that works nationwide to educate drivers in many ways is SmartMotorist.com.  They offer many tips on avoiding distracted driving associated with cell phone use. 

Of course, the first step toward preventing distracted driving is avoiding distraction yourself.  If you must talk or text before you reach your destination, please pull over in a safe location away from traffic.  Arrive alive!  Don't text and drive!
