Don’t Be a Distracted Driver During the Eclipse

• Keep headlights on
• Put sun visor down to block your view of the sun
• Do not wear eclipse glasses while driving
• Do not try to video the eclipse while driving.
• Do not stop on the shoulder or the roadway to view the eclipse. Park in safe area away from traffic to view the eclipse.
• Be alert to the possibly of other distracted drivers who may be watching the eclipse swerving into your lane.
• Keep additional space between you and other vehicles and reduce your speed so you will have more time to make an emergency maneuver if needed.
• Be mindful of pedestrians that may be walking around with their eyes on the sky.
