Driving Information

Distracted Driving

Distraction comes in many forms
and can take your focus from the
task of driving. Exercise good
judgment and do not let other
activities divert your attention
away from the road. Many local
governments have enacted laws
regarding driver distraction. Become
familiar with the local laws in
your area.

To avoid distracted driving, always
keep your eyes on the road, hands
on the wheel, and mind on the drive.

.

Do not use a phone in
demanding driving situations.
Use a hands-free method to
place or receive necessary
phone calls.

Watch the road. Do not read,
take notes, or look up
information on phones or
other electronic devices.

Designate a front seat
passenger to handle potential
distractions.

Become familiar with vehicle
features before driving, such as
programming favorite radio
stations and adjusting climate
control and seat settings.
Program all trip information into
any navigation device prior to
driving.

to the floor.
