Coastal that is sure to raise the awareness of the danger of
distracted driving. This unique training program features a main
character who is the personification of all the distractions drivers
deal with -- cell phones, cd or mp3 players, eating and drinking,
children, maps, and many more. He candidly tells the viewers how easy it
is to get into the car with them and how he loves the inevitable
outcome.
The tragic result of his ride with two busy people is eye-opening. Keep
your employees safe on and off the job with this in-your-face look at
what is fast becoming a leading contributor to roadway fatalities.
