Wayne Hogan Discusses Distracted Driving on FOX 30

With traffic crashes now the number one cause of death among teens, and over 5,000 lives lost each year to distracted driving, including texting, cell phone calls, gps, and social media, this negligent behavior needs to be stopped in its tracks; it has become an epidemic. This is very concerning; 46% of teenage drivers are willing to admit to texting while driving; the ACTUAL PERCENTAGE texting and driving is surely higher. Distracted driving is negligent driving, and it must be stopped.
Terrell • Hogan attorney Wayne Hogan was recently interviewed by Tera Barz on FOX 30 ‘s Action News This Morning to get the word out about the dangers of distracted driving. He and attorney Leslie Goller are visiting Jacksonville area high schools in April to give teens real world examples of driving distracted and provide some strategies to prevent it. It’s part of the The End Distracted Driving Initiative, a program to save lives that was created by The Casey Feldman Foundation, The End Distracted Driving Initiative, 60 for Safety, and Injury Board. When you think about it, the choice of April as End Distracted Driving month makes sense; soon there will by proms and graduations and these young drivers need all the help they can get to stay safe.
The hope is that the students who hear the anti-distracted driving message will act as ambassadors to their parents and friends who also may not have focused on the dangers of texting and driving and the like.
