Mindful Driving Challenge for April-
I'm Late, I'm Late, for a Very Important Date
Your mindful driving challenge for April is to stop at all yellow and red lights.
With so much traffic on our roads,light cycles at the busy intersections can be long. So when we
come to the intersection and it turns yellow,the temptation is to ignore the official "stop if you
can do so safely" rule and speed up to make it through just in time.After all, it's 1.5 minutes of
our busy day on the line! But did you know that 40% of all collisions in the US happen at
intersections?As drivers speed up,we're focused on the yellow light and if we made it through
and if there are any cameras or police officers ... the last thing we're looking at is the small child
in the road who steps off the curb early because they haven't learned to be patient yet.And
unfortunately,even if we do happen to see them,we might be going too fast to stop.Your
challenge for this month is to break out your inner rule follower and stop at all yellow lights.
