Avoiding Distractions While Driving
One of the great things about the road is how public and open it is. However, because it is a public space, it is imperative that everyone who uses it makes safety a priority. When drivers get distracted, the safety of the road is compromised. There are a number of common driver distractions that must be avoided in order to keep the roads and those on them safe.

Common Distractions
Maintaining your focus is an important part of driving safely. Common driver distractions that should be avoided whenever possible include:
- Electronics: cell phone use, texting, playing with MP3 players or radios, and using GPS devices
- Food: usually eating or drinking while trying to steer or spilling and trying to clean up that spill
- Accidents: rubbernecking, or focusing on an existing car crash, is an easy way to cause a wreck of your own
- Passengers: conversations with those behind and next to you seriously limits concentration on that in front of you. Try and keep talking to a minimum and ask your passengers to be respectful of your need to concentrate.
Distractions like these can greatly increase your chances of being involved in a motor vehicle accident. For your own safety as well as others’, it is important to keep distractions to a minimum.
