Using a dashboard-mounted phone holder for navigation
You can use a mount to see the map, but you can’t interact with the phone while the car is in motion.
Thinking about a stressful meeting you just had while driving
Even though your hands are on the wheel and your eyes might be on the road, your mind is occupied, making it harder to notice hazards and react quickly. Try to address stressful thoughts before or after driving, not during.
Adjusting the radio or changing a CD while driving
Even a few seconds of looking away from the road can be critical. If you need to change the music, try to do it when stopped at a light or pull over safely if it’s a more involved process.
Having a conversation with a passenger in the back seat
While not as visually demanding as using a phone, engaging in deep or emotional conversations can divert your mental focus from the driving environment. Be mindful of the intensity of the discussion.
Trying to eat or drink while operating a vehicle
Eating and drinking often require using your hands, taking your eyes off the road, and can lead to spills that further distract you. It’s best to eat and drink when you’re not driving.
Grooming yourself in the rearview mirror while driving
Activities like fixing your hair or applying makeup require focused visual attention and should never be done while the vehicle is in motion. Pull over safely if necessary.
Looking at a billboard or interesting scenery for more than a quick glance
While it’s natural to notice things around you, prolonged gazing at non-driving-related objects can make you miss important cues in your driving environment. Keep your focus primarily on the road.
Dealing with children or pets who are being disruptive in the car
While these situations can be challenging, it’s crucial to manage them safely. If the distraction is significant, consider pulling over to address the issue before continuing to drive.
