10 Things Not to Do When Driving

Distracted driving is a rapidly growing major problem on U.S. roadways. Thousands are killed and injured in motor vehicle crashes involving distracted driving each year according to The National Highway Traffic Safety Association and U.S. Department of Transportation.

Distractions are broken down into three categories:

1. Visual Distractions: which take your eyes off the road
2. Manual Distractions: which take your hands off the wheel
3. Cognitive Distractions: which take your mind off of driving

Ten types of distractions that often divert a driver’s attention from the roadway:

1. CELL PHONES: Cognitive / Manual / Visual
2. TALKING TO PASSENGERS: Cognitive / Possibly Visual
3. DAY DREAMING: Cognitive / Visual
4. ADJUSTING THE RADIO: Any and all types of distractions
5. FOOD/DRINK: Manual/ Visual
6. GPS: Any and all types of distractions
7. TV/DVD PLAYER: Any and all types of distractions
8. CHILDREN: Any and all types of distractions
9. GROOMING: Any and all types of distractions
10. RUBBERNECKING: Cognitive / Visual

Most distractions require a driver's attention in multiple ways, which severely
inhibits a person's ability to drive safely. If you find yourself being distracted
while driving you should pull over and park your vehicle away from the road. This
allows you to focus your full attention on what was distracting while keeping you
and other motorists out of avoidable danger.
