Review Your Driving Safety with Life360 for Distracted Driving Awareness Month
April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month, and we at Life360 want to bring awareness to you and your Circle.
Distracted Driving Statistics
These are just a few of the scary statistics around distracted driving. Cell phone use on the road is responsible for 64% of all automobile accidents in the U.S. Every day, 11 teenagers die because they were texting while driving. During daylight hours, approximately 660,000 drivers are using cell phones while driving.
How to Use Life360’s Safe Drive Reviews
Safe Drive Reviews let Circle members know about events occurred during a drive. View:
Top Speed
Texting and phone use while driving
Hard braking
Rapid acceleration
The Safe Drive Review map will show the spot where the event occurred.
To become a better, safer driver, being aware of these bad habits is the first step to stopping them. Sit down and have a conversation with your loved ones about the dangers of each of these events. Encourage your Circle to complete drives with zero events. We suggest giving out a prize – like a gift card or money – for an entire month of zero drives.
To view a Safe Drive Review for a Circle member, make sure these first steps are completed:
Drive Detection is turned on for every Circle member
Turn on Driving Alerts to receive the drive notifications
When you receive a push notification after a drive, tap it to be taken into the Safe Drive Review
We leave you with this heart breaking, but touching story of the dangers of texting while driving. Remember – Just Drive.
