CHARLOTTE, NC (PRWEB) April 25, 2017 -- With April designated as National Auto Body Council’s (NABC) Distracted Driving Awareness Month, CARSTAR Auto Body Repair Experts is reminding teen drivers, “It Can Wait” while they are on the road.

NABC Distracted Driving Awareness Month educates drivers of all ages – but particularly younger drivers most susceptible to distracted driving accidents – about how to reduce their risk on the road by putting down their mobile devices.

"We encourage drivers of all ages -- but particularly teens during this celebratory season -- to put down the phone and focus on the road. It could save their lives." - Arlo Johnson, CARSTAR

Post this

As part of the campaign, CARSTAR has a new NABC Distracted Driving Presentation Toolkit to help drive home the “don’t text and drive” message. The 45-minute presentation takes students through a hands-on exercise to demonstrate the difficulties of multi-tasking while driving. The presentation has videos and a virtual reality experience, utilizing virtual reality goggles and earphones, to illustrate the dangers of texting and driving.

Here are four tips for reducing distracted driving during prom and graduation season:

  • Take – and share – your photos and videos before you get in the car
  • Designate someone who isn’t driving to manage the GPS
  • Have the driver install an app to silence incoming notifications and let the sender know the recipient is behind the wheel
  • Consider a car service if the budget allows

There are currently 20 CARSTAR locations around the country that are participating:

  • CARSTAR 76 Collision - 174 76th Street SW, Grand Rapids, MI 49548
  • CARSTAR Action – 21200 St. Clair Ave., Euclid, OH 44117

“April is the start of one of the most dangerous time of the year for teens on the road as they celebrate high school proms and graduations shortly afterwards,” said Arlo Johnson, Vice President of Insurance at CARSTAR. “Our goal with these kits is to make it as easy as possible for our CARSTAR owners to host ongoing awareness events in their communities, as often as possible, to remind and encourage drivers of all ages to make a pledge not to text and drive.
