Distracted Driving
Distraction comes in many forms and
can take your focus from the task of
driving. Exercise good judgment and
do not let other activities divert your
attention away from the road. Many
local governments have enacted laws
regarding driver distraction. Become
familiar with the local laws in
your area.
To avoid distracted driving, keep your
eyes on the road, keep your hands on
the steering wheel, and focus your
attention on driving.
.
Do not use a phone in demanding
driving situations. Use a hands-free
method to place or receive
necessary phone calls.
.
Watch the road. Do not read, take
notes, or look up information on
phones or other electronic devices.
.
Designate a front seat passenger to
handle potential distractions.
