Webinar: Drive Present, Arrive Safe
Summary: Driving demands more than skill—it requires awareness, presence, and emotional control. This presentation explores how mindfulness practices can improve focus, reduce stress, and enhance safety on the road. Participants will learn how slow, intentional movements, calm breathing, and emotional regulation can help prevent reactive driving behaviors and fatigue-related crashes. The session also addresses the dangers of multitasking, drowsy driving, and “passive fatigue” caused by long, monotonous routes. Practical tools and take-home strategies—such as mindful breathing exercises, pre-drive check-ins, and healthy rest habits—equip drivers to stay alert and proactive. This session reminds participants that “Your mind and presence are your most important safety features.”
Objectives: During this presentation, attendees will learn…
How sleep impacts health and safety
The effects of drowsy and distracted driving

Tips and techniques for mindful driving
Intended Audience: Anyone who drives, with a particular focus on driver’s education students.
