Recently, New York State has pushed to transform 91 resting areas along the state Thruway to become “Texting Zones,” even adding signs designating the areas. Now with the use of unmarked SUVs, the efforts to stop texting and driving is “one of the nation’s most aggressive attacks.” (Newsday)

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration tells Newsday that 660,000 drivers across the nation are using their cell phones while driving during daylight hours. Out of that number, 421,000 have been injured in car crashes involved in distracted driving and 3,300 have died as a result. Stay safe this holiday season by traveling without distractions.
