Distracted Driving: 5 Seconds Can Change a Life
Jennifer Weaver was a guest speaker at Chesapeake Region Safety Council’s 2019 Annual Conference at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab. Following that event, we had many requests for follow up presentations by organizations looking for a safety day message. That demand exceeded her ability to present as she works full time, so we have brought her back to share her story again in a virtual webinar format! Feel free to share this exceptional educational opportunity with coworkers and friends. A question and answer session will follow the presentation.Jenny Weaver will recount how a five-second behavior and the following outcomes changed many people’s lives forever. Although she has no recollection of the crash due to a head injury, law enforcement’s accident reconstruction efforts concluded that she was looking down at her phone when she failed to see a car stopped in front of her.Through the sharing of a personal story, Jennifer discusses statistics, laws, consequences, and alternatives to cell phone use when operating a vehicle. This presentation will influence many people to change what they presently consider an acceptable risk while driving.
