Distracted mom drivers are twice as likely to get into a car crash as a drunk driver. Is that shocking to you too? Because of the distractions we face in the car as well as the fact most moms drive after sleeping less than six hours the night before, more than 8,000 crashes daily can be attributed to our distracted driving. That’s a sobering number, and I can think of few things more scary than getting into a car crash with my children.
After thinking about this for a bit, I realized I’m actually not that surprised by such an incredible statistic. I can’t tell you how many times I’d be driving along, trying to be a defensive driver aware of what is happening on the road in front of me, while a toddler in the back seat is screaming at the top of his lungs because he tossed his angry bird and can’t reach it while strapped into his car seat. He wants me to get it, NOW! Now, now, nowwwwww!!!!!!!!!! (Cue ear piercing shrieks).
Sometimes they are hungry, sometimes they have to go to the bathroom, sometimes they want to tell me a joke, and they want me to look at them while they tell it, but my children are incredibly distracting while I drive, and while I haven’t crashed my car yet, I’ve had more close calls than I care to admit.
New vehicles are made with anti collision radar systems to help reduce the amount of accidents happening (and they work) but like many parents, I have an old car. Safe Drive is a brand of Anti Collision Radar Systems for vehicles, so if your car did not come installed with one, you can have the peace of mind they offer when you are behind the wheel by having it installed on your newer than 2006 car.
Six Ways Safe Drive Systems Help Keep You Safer
1. Fast, real time monitoring checks the area around your car 20 times per second for any danger
2. Revolutionary technology allows the camera to alert you to possible danger within an area of up to 460 feet in advance (that is larger than the size of a football field)
3. State of the art Lane Drift Technology helps prevent a head on collision
4. Advanced radar technology works in all light and weather conditions
5. Intuitive alerts give you extra time to respond to adverse road conditions so your eyes never have to leave the road
6. Professional installation allows you the peace of mind of knowing Safe Drive is set up on your car correctly
That’s a lot of monitoring and customer service to help keep you safer on the road! Anti collision monitoring systems are proven to reduce the number of car crashes, and you will know your children are safer driving with you, in any weather, day or night.
