TUCSON, Ariz. (KOLD News 13) - April is ‘Distracted Driving Awareness’ month and two mothers are determined to make the most of it. Julie Festerling and Deborah Garcia know exactly what can happen when a driver takes their eyes off the road.
“It hits us extra hard this month,” Festerling said.
So, they have launched a new campaign.
“Phones down. Eyes Up. Just Drive.” The short message runs across the marquee at Mountain View High School. Similar signs are also displayed at about half a dozen other schools across Pima County.
