We also provided helpful reminders for safe driving. Such as distractions you should avoid while driving. Remember, getting from point A to point B safely is more important, to you and other drivers, than any text, phone call, or tik tok out there. Stay safe and remember to avoid these common distractions while driving.
Cellphone
Cell phones are becoming more and more complex and capable of extraordinary tasks, all in the palm of your hand. There is a good chance that your phone is your life. Could you go a whole day without checking your phone? We sure can’t, but we can put it down for the length of a car ride. That text message you just received, new Instagram post from your favorite celeb, or latest tik tok trend can wait until you are safely stopped and parked in your vehicle. Not to mention, several states are enforcing the legality of texting while driving. Stay off your phone and stay safe while driving.
GPS
Not only are we tempted by looking at our phones while driving, most of the time, but we also use them for GPS directions. The GPS can be beneficial when driving but can also be a significant distraction, especially when trying to type in a location while driving. If you must use your GPS to know where you are going, we here at Louisville Automotive Shop in Louisville KY recommend that you set the destination before departing on the trip. A glance at the directions, while still not safe, is better than typing in a location while driving.
Passengers & Radio
Two major distractions that drivers do not realize are distractions are your passengers and the radio. When driving with someone in the vehicle, they can be a significant distraction by engaging in conversation or fiddling with the radio. The sound of their voice and the changing of stations can take your focus off the road. So when driving with a passenger, whether it is a friend, college, or your kids, it would be best to engage in smaller conversations and limit the distractions to the driver. When it comes to the radio or playing music, we recommend setting one playlist for the ride so there would be no need to adjust the radio physically.
Stay Safe Out There
With all these recommendations combined, you will be a safer driver and decrease the chances of getting hurt.
