We have all been guilty of it at least once where we are doing something that is distracting us from driving, in a lot of cases it is just human nature. Distracted driving is dangerous and has and will continue to injure people and or even worse can be the cause of death & nobody wants that. Here are some tips for you that you can do to help prevent you from distracted driving:
- Secure Loose Gear – when getting into your car put your things away in a safe spot where it wont move around. For things you are more likely to want to grab like your cell phone put it somewhere that you cannot see it so you are less likely to reach for it
- Plan Your Drive Before Leaving – Make sure the seat of your car and your mirrors are all set for you before you start driving. Check your maps ahead of time so you know the best route to take and can plan ahead for traffic conditions
- Get ready at home – Far to often do we see people do make there make up or hair or other preparations while driving, before you start driving do all this at home.
- Ensure Pets & Children are Secure – If you loved ones need attention when you are driving pull over and assist don’t try to help while driving.
- Have your Passengers be your co-Pilot – If you think you are lost don’t try to look at a map yourself while driving ask your passengers to be your co-pilot and look at the map for you
There are so many things that can distract you while driving so the best advice anyone can give I think is to remember that if it distracts your from driving take care of it before you start driving or once you arrive at your destination. Safe travels everyone 😊
