The Top Nine Driving Distractions That Can Cause a Crash
Distracted Driving Awareness Month
- Daydreaming. So, you’re bored and just not paying attention.
- Cell phones. That includes texting and things like messing with your GPS.
- Looking at stuff outside your vehicle. Billboards cause quite a few accidents.
- Abusing substances or lacking sleep. Those count as “distractions” too.
- Reaching for stuff. Like something in the backseat.
- Other passengers. It’s especially dangerous with teen drivers and their friends.
- Eating and driving. It can be just as dangerous as texting and driving.
- Messing with onboard systems. Meaning things like the A/C, or the radio.
- Pets. It’s why restraints for dogs are a good idea.
