Date: Wednesday, March 8, 2017 Time: 2:45 PM - 3:45 PM Location: Hyatt Regency Columbus Room: Delaware A Speakers: Patrick Garey, Safety Technician, Department of Public Utilities, City of Columbus Track: Driving and Transportation Secondary Track: Social and Behavioral Session Type: Educational Session Skill Level: Intermediate Description: Distracted driving is more than teenagers with cellphones and texting. The presenter starts out talking about our habits and the roles they play in our safety. Then, he takes a whimsical look at the physical evolution of the car, along with the car culture that has given us the drive-in movie, the drive-in diner, drive-thru windows and Route 66. The program revisits our habits through several studies and eventually asks “have we reached critical mass when it comes to the cell phone?." Learning Objectives: Recall from a historical perspective how we got to where we are with the increasing risks of distracted driving Recognize that no matter what the distraction, it's how we choose to react/interact with those distractions that make the difference
