Pay Attention--Safe Driving is a Full-Time Job

Distracted driving is estimated to be a factor in between 25 to 50 percent of all traffic crashes--that’s between 4,000 and 8,000 crashes every day.
Distracted driving is the presence of anything that can distract a driver’s physical and mental attention from driving.
Driving instructors estimate that a driver makes an average of 200 decisions during every mile they drive. This leaves no room for multi-tasking while behind the wheel.
According to a recent survey, drivers in the U.S. now spend a total of 500 million hours a week in their vehicles.

Other passengers, especially children
Driving an unfamiliar vehicle or route
Unsecured cargo
Adjusting in-vehicle electronics including navigation systems, radios or CD players, and using the phone
Eating or reading while driving
Engaging in intense or emotional conversations
Emotional state and/or serious personal problems
Grooming

Pre-set the climate control, radio and CD player and identify the location of signals, wipers and lights in the vehicle before you drive.
Don’t wait until you are driving to plan your route or attend to grooming. Plan before you go and leave a little earlier; it will help you to arrive at your destination safely and less stressed.
Pull off the road to make calls. Pre-set your cellular phone with commonly called numbers and allow voicemail to handle incoming calls.
Be sure to properly secure pets and any cargo you may be transporting.
Be sure children are properly secured in an age-appropriate child passenger safety restraint.
