June is National Safety Month, with the second week, June 9-15, specifically dedicated to roadway safety. According to the National Safety Council, over 46,000 people lost their lives in motor vehicle crashes in 2022, and there were 5.2 million medically-consulted injuries. These numbers are simply unacceptable. We must do a better job of focusing on the tasks of driving, walking, and biking. We can save lives and prevent crashes by paying attention to what we and those around us are doing.
