National Distracted Driving Awareness Month

In recognition of April's designation as National Distracted Driving Awareness Month, Mission Viejo Police Services encourages residents to always practice safe driving habits.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in 2015 alone, 3,477 people were killed and more than 390,000 injured in accidents involving distracted drivers. Even more distressing, teens were the largest age group reported as distracted during fatal collisions.
