"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.

In this special episode of Fleet Safety Geeks, we honor the legacies of Mike Antich and Susan Hipp. We reflect on their immense contributions to the fleet community and share how you can keep their memory alive.

Memorials:

• Mike Antich: Plant a tree at endlesstributes.com.
• Susan Hipp: Donate to the Lobular Breast Cancer Alliance at lobularbreastcancer.org.

April is Distracted Driving Month so Phil and Bob chat about distracted driving. They throw in a little sports as well!
