5 Ways To Prevent Dangerous Distractions While Driving

6/7/2019

​According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), most automobile accidents are due to drivers not paying full attention to driving. A study released by the administration and Virginia Tech University has confirmed that distractions cause more than 75% of car crashes and more than 60% of near-collisions within a few seconds before the crash. Find out how you can avoid these distractions so you can drive safely.
  1. Avoid Cell Phone Use
    Never text, make a call or access the web on your mobile phone while driving. You are placing your life and the lives of your passengers at risk when you do. Using a cell phone affects your full concentration. And even with wireless headphones or earpieces as well as voice-assisted technology becoming more popular, it is still safe to drive FIRST so you can fully concentrate on the road. 

  2. Control Road Rage
    Whether you're upset about a car cutting you off or a pedestrian suddenly crossing the street, you must learn to control your anger and let go. Remember that nothing good comes from anger. If you feel frustrated or you feel outraged, pull over and get some fresh air.  Find a convenience store and get something cold to drink to relax you before returning behind the wheel.

  3. Avoid Eating Or Drinking
    You can chew gum or take a sip once in a while but not eating food that will likely spill or affect your attention. According to the latest survey, some of the worst types of food to eat while you are driving are hamburgers, fried chicken, jelly doughnuts, tacos, chili, and chocolate. 

  4. Set Your Navigation System Before Driving
    The navigation system installed in cars provides convenience especially when you are new to driving on a particular road. But as much as possible, set, calibrate and double check it BEFORE driving. This will avoid any distractions especially when you are manually adjusting your nav system.

  5. Keep Your Kids Entertained
    Children should be placed in appropriate seating or car restraints. If the ride is a long and tiring one, keep them entertained with their toys, food, and drinks situated nearby. Use a small bag to place all the things they need for the trip so you'd spend less time handling them their stuff as you drive. 

Driving distractions are everywhere, and it pays to be covered with reliable auto insurance. Good auto insurance will help you deal with potential problems in the future.
