Top 15 Driving Distractions  
INTERESTING 

Tags: distractions, driving, cars

I know what you are thinking, kids. Nope, read on to see what a study about the cause of traffic accidents conducted by the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles and Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond said...

1.	Rubbernecking (looking at a crash, vehicle, roadside incident, or traffic) - Keep traffic moving by avoiding this one
2.	Driver fatigue - Never be afraid to pull over for a quick nap
3.	Looking at scenery or landmarks - Take advantage of the roadside stop offs
4.	Passenger or child distraction - Be sure that your children know how important it is that you focus on driving
5.	Adjusting radio or changing CD or tape - Sit through that awful song, just until you hit the stop light
6.	Cell phone - Talking on it while driving is illegal in some states so be careful
7.	Eyes not on the road - Uh oh! This one could defiantly lead to trouble.
8.	Not paying attention, daydreaming - Nothing is more exciting than today
9.	Eating or drinking - Don't drink and drive
10.	Adjusting vehicle controls - Darn those complicated new features
11.	Weather conditions - icy roads can lead to hot heads if you get in a wreck
12.	Insect, animal, or object entering or striking vehicle - My cat doesn't seem to understand that she needs to stay in the passenger seat
13.	Document, book, map, directions, or newspaper - Remember keeping your eyes on the road is the most important factor while driving
14.	Medical or emotional impairment - Never drive when emotionally distraught
