How You Can Stay Focused on the Road

Every April, we observe Distracted Driving Awareness Month, which is a perfect opportunity to address a serious problem. Distracted driving is one of the leading causes of road accidents and the result of many fatalities. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, 3,166 lives were lost in 2017 alone due to distracted driving. Despite the apparent dangers that distracted driving poses, many people are still likely to take their eyes off the road. Here you’ll find several tips on how you can avoid distracted driving and stay safe while out on the road: Keep your focus. While you’re driving, you should always stay alert and keep your eyes in front of you. When you are aware of the cars around you and actively watch for any changes in those vehicles, you can react accordingly and take steps to avoid an accident. Don’t use your phone. We’ve come to depend on our phones for many reasons, but while you’re in the car, they should be silenced or turned off and kept out of reach. This minimizes the temptation to answer a text or call while you’re driving. If you do need to answer your phone, pull over in a safe area and park before picking it up. Situate yourself and the kids. Before you head out of the driveway, it’s essential that you’ve already made yourself and your kids comfortable. This is a good time to adjust your mirrors, air conditioning, and radio. This is also an ideal time to remind the kids about your important car rules, such as no loud noises and no moving around while the car is moving. Never try to multitask. While we’d all like to say we’re great at multitasking, it’s never a good idea to try, especially while driving. Behind the wheel, your No. 1 concern should be driving, not eating, using the GPS, or looking for something in the glove box. Even if you follow these steps and are a careful driver, there’s still a chance you might end up in an accident with another distracted driver. That’s where our attorneys at HareWynn can help.
