The Drive

In Iowa we do a lot of driving. Cell phones, texting, and music are a few distractions that we face daily. With more people on the road than ever before, we as drivers must stay alert to what is going on around us. This is hard for many people as cars come equipped with dash distractions.

As college students we often feel overworked and stressed. This becomes an issue when we hit the road. To stay focused a goal could be to get at least 7 hours of rest a night to keep from driving drowsy.

Another issue college students face is knowing when they shouldn't be driving home after a night out with friends. With other transportation choices, such as a taxi, bus or designated driver, why would you risk driving drunk?
