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 |

good to know! Comment by: thundrks Pretty comprehensive, though the MAJOR distraction of all, hoardings with sexy girls on it, seems to be conspicuously missing from the list Comment by: misnomer
