01 Distracted Driving
During driving, anything that makes the driver lose focus can be termed as a distraction. It can also vary according to individuals. For example, some may listening to music while driving distracting, while it may be soothing for others. The most common distractions for drivers are eating, listening to music, and trying to perform other tasks like adjusting the radio or doing hair or makeup. Mobile phones and other electronic media used for infotainment are usually the biggest distractions causing drivers to lose focus.
Tips to Avoid: Driving requires focus and alertness. A distraction of a few seconds can also be fatal when on the road. Whether it's eating food or listening to music, if it distracts you from driving, you should avoid it. A good policy is to turn your phone and other electronic devices off before driving. Make sure to eat before or after the drive and keep all your necessary belongings in front of you for easy access. If you need to set your GPS, adjust the mirrors, or set the sound systems, do it before starting to drive.
