Distracted Driving Awareness Week: Stay Alert, Stay Focused #85000 (License: Personal Use)

This satirical editorial cartoon depicts a chaotic crash scene where a driver, holding a smartphone and beverage, loses control of their vehicle, sending it airborne. The image prominently features “Distracted Driving Awareness Week” (June 28-July 4) and a roadside sign urging drivers to “Stay Alert, Stay Focused,” underscoring the campaign’s public safety message. Created by cartoonist J. D. King, the illustration uses exaggerated motion and expressive detail to highlight real-world consequences of inattention behind the wheel.

Used on traffic safety websites, government campaign pages (e.g., NHTSA), school driver education materials, and news articles during Distracted Driving Awareness Week; targets drivers, parents, and educators seeking to raise awareness about mobile device and multitasking risks.
