Take Action During Distracted Driving Awareness Month

Driving while distracted remains a significant factor in crashes resulting in fatalities. In 2022 alone, 42,795 people were killed on American roads.¹

This year, as we observe National Distracted Driving Awareness Month, Federated Insurance^® urges its member clients to rally around the message: Protect Your Drivers and Your Reputation. This serves as a poignant reminder that a single fatal accident could have your logo on it.  

The Benefits of Telematics

Federated^® encourages business owners to take action by utilizing telematics solutions to help drivers stay safe on the road. Options such as Federated DriveSAFE^SM telematics can be vital in curbing unwanted driving habits in your employees.

Telematics technology can help to safeguard your reputation, business, and employees while offering consistent, meaningful feedback on employee driving behaviors. Implementing a telematics solution in your vehicles can be your road to a safer business, helping to reduce the risk of a deadly and costly vehicle crash with your brand attached.
