Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.   I’m Fred Fishkin.   In the midst of the holiday weekend …how can you stay safer on the roads?    Driving and Security Expert John Wey at State Farm says all of the fun can be ruined by distractions behind the wheel.  Putting the phone down and focusing on the road can make for happier holidays…

“The roads are bad this time of year.  There’s snow on the road, there’s ice on the road.  It’s just a more dangerous time to be driving and the data bears that out.   There are more fatalities this time of year than any other.  This is not the time to try to be focusing on other than getting from point A to point B.  So this is really a call to action for us to be doubly intentional this winter about how and where we’re allowing distraction to get involved in our driving process.”

Some tech can help but isn’t  a substitute for attentive driving.    Wishing you happy holidays and a healthy year ahead.
