This episode is about distracted driving. We all know it’s dangerous and risky. It’s also irresponsible, selfish, and disrespectful. This is the message Joel Feldman learned from the kids he presents to, and it’s the message he shares with their parents who might not think of it the same way. Joel founded EndDD.org, an organization committed to reducing crashes caused by distracted driving. He’s dedicated his life to talking with adults and kids about distracted driving ever since a distracted driver killed his daughter, Casey. If you’re concerned about distracted driving, this episode will highlight different ways to think about how we share the road and ways we can all stay safe.
