April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month. This Public Service Announcement from ShelbyTNSheriff is a reminder to drivers of the dangers of using your phone while driving. Distractions can turn a moment into a tragedy. It's time to prioritize safety over convenience. Tennessee Highway Safety Office

If you have kids, you know they are always watching, even when you think they’re not. So be a good example! tntrafficsafety.org/cps

Bicyclists and motorists: Safety features like helmets and seat belts are tested and proven to prevent injuries! Safety first! tntrafficsafety.org/bike-ped

Two good driving habits, never too soon. #HandsFreeTN #SlowDownTN

Speeding is more than just breaking the law. It wastes more gas, lowers vehicle control, reduces the effectiveness of seat belts, and puts everyone on the road in danger. tntrafficsafety.org/speeding #SlowDownTN

Today, the Tennessee Highway Safety Office is kicking off “Slow Down Tennessee,” a week-long campaign to help increase awareness and reduce speeding across Tennessee roadways. tntrafficsafety.org/slow-down-tn-a… #SlowDownTN

A first responder’s “office” changes all the time. Keep their workspace safe, especially when it’s on the side of the road. Always #MoveOver when you see flashing lights. tntrafficsafety.org/speeding

Tennessee’s beautiful backroads are meant to be shared, not raced on. Speeding caused 13,653 crashes in Tennessee from 2022-2023. tntrafficsafety.org/speeding #SlowDownTN

Protect those who protect you. #MoveOver to protect emergency personnel.

Leading causes of work zone crashes are distractions, following too closely, and driving too fast. When passing a work zone close to the road, slow down to keep them safe! #NWZAW

There’s just no safe way to check notifications when you’re driving. Distractions are dangerous, even when there are no other vehicles around you. tntrafficsafety.org/distracted-dri… #HandsFreeTN

Road workers have to operate very close to traffic in order to improve safety for everyone. Put your phone down, reduce your speed, pay attention to signs and flaggers, and increase your following distance to help keep road workers safe on the job. #NWZAW

#MoveOver , not just because it’s the law, but because it’s the right thing to do to protect law enforcement and other first responders. 🚒 🚑 🚓🚧

Behind the wheel, your only focus should be the road ahead. Let's make hands-free driving the norm in Tennessee. Spread the word and save lives. handsfreetn.com #HandsFreeTN

It really is that simple. #HandsFreeTN
