April 2010 is National Distracted Driving MonthFocusDriven.org is a website maintained by advocates for cell-free driving to aim to reduce deaths and injuries caused by cell phone distracted driving. Fueled by personal tragedy, FocusDriven founding member Shelley Forney called for the National Distracted Driving Awareness Month in honor of her daughter who was killed by a distracted driver in 2008.

Last week the House of Representatives voted to designate this April to providing information, raising awareness and putting a face on the dangers of distracted driving.

Keep up the hard work FocusDriven.
 

At Jotto Desk, we too understand the risks associated with driving while trying to use electronic devices such as cell phones and laptop computers. For over 15 years we have been providing mounting solutions for laptops and are proud to offer ScreenSafe, which is a software solution that eliminates laptop distractions while driving. Using GPS technology, the program disables the monitor for viewing if the vehicle is moving. Once stopped or safely parked, normal operation resumes. 

Take the next 30 days to make a commitment to yourself and your family, not to text while driving, to not use your laptop while driving and I say even go as far as to not use your phone AT ALL while driving. After those 30 days, I am willing to bet that you won't even miss it.
