Show Notes
"It only takes a second to change a life forever."
In honor of Distracted Driving Awareness Month, The Fleet Safety Geeks sit down for a deeply moving and critical conversation with Jacy Good, co-founder of Hang Up and Drive.
In 2008, on the day of her college graduation, Jacy’s life was shattered by a distracted driver. The crash claimed the lives of both of her parents and left Jacy with a permanent brain injury and partial paralysis. Today, Jacy is a world-renowned advocate, sharing her story with Fortune 500 companies, the United Nations, and now, the Fleet Safety Geeks community.
In this episode, we discuss:
- The "Day That Changed Everything": Jacy walks us through her graduation day and the crash.
- The Real Cost: Jacy shares her family’s car presentation—a powerful visual reminder of the impact of distraction.
- Cognitive Distraction: Why "hands-free" isn't "risk-free."
- Fleet Impact: How safety managers can implement behavioral and cultural changes to protect their drivers.
