About this listen
Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear. I’m Fred Fishkin. Snow and icy roads can make driving a challenge during the winter, especially this one in many parts of the country. At State Farm, research director Jon Wey says that is all the more reason to put down phones and focus on the task at hand…
“Trying to hold ourselves more accountable for not giving in to the distractions. For really being intentional about sitting in behind the wheel, putting our phone down in the cupholder and committing to not picking that thing back up again until we get to our destination. That would be a really good place to start. Similarly, not feeling compelled to try to figure out what the latest and greatest thing is on the radio or what’s going on in the Twitterverse to try and understand while I’m driving this vehicle.”
And a reminder that the hours after the Super Bowl can present many of the same dangers as New Year’s Eve….with alcohol adding to the winter road dangers.
