middle of traffic. So, if something falls, leave it. If you spilled something and need to clean it up right away, pull over first. Otherwise, whatever fell can stay on the ground until you arrive at your destination. Set a good example for other (younger) drivers. One way you can ensure the roads are safer even when you’re not driving is by setting a good example for other drivers — particularly if you have teenagers of driving age in your house. When they’re riding with you in the car, don’t check your phone, eat while driving, or do anything else that takes your attention off the road. They’ll learn to follow your example. Speak up when others are driving distracted. If you’re riding with someone who is texting while driving or putting on makeup, let them know their actions make you feel unsafe on the road. Even if they get defensive and insist they know what they’re doing, chances are they at least won’t drive distracted around you anymore. Maybe as time goes on, they’ll drive distracted less frequently altogether.
