Duke & UNC Talk Distracted Driving: Staying Safe While Social Distancing - a podcast by UNC Trauma Program

Tricia Smar, the injury prevention coordinator the Duke University Hospitals Trauma program, and I discuss National Distracted Driving Awareness Month.  Tricia shares insight into how we can all be better drivers and avoid distraction. We also offer a few tips on safe driving during the stay at home order from Covid-19. 

In the episode I reference the importance of car maintenance to avoid accidents and how to be careful about having car work done during the pandemic. The article I refer can be found here.
