Karma On Wheels

Slow down and let other drivers merge and go ahead of you. Allow every pedestrian to amble across the street, the slower the better. Is that extra five minutes of driving time going to ruin your life? No, but being a patient,
safe, and nice driver will make the ride all the more pleasant and will send a ray of goodness in your wake.

Mindfulness at 55 MPH

    Be a mindful driver, not a distracted danger to yourself and others. Driving, texting, and talking on the phone are very dangerous. Typing out a quick text may feel harmless, but texting requires visual, manual, and cognitive attention that you should be giving to the road. Think about-and educate yourself on-the dangers of distracted driving. Here are a few statistics provided by distraction.gov to get you started:

  • An estimated 421,000 people were injured in motor vehicle crashes involving a distracted driver.
  • 11% of all drivers under the age of 20 involved in fatal crashes were reported to be distracted at the time of the crash.
  • Sending or a receiving text takes a driver’s eyes from the road for an average of 4.6 seconds, the equivalent-at 55mph-of driving the length of an entire football field, blind. Bottom line: don’t do it!
