Weekly Safety Share #35 - Distracted Driving

With the increase in travel with summer holidays and camping the traffic has increased with some drivers not as patient as others causing everyone to all drive very defensively.

We must stay alert each day and address the risks in a timely matter in order to remain safe and productive.
