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, keep your eyes on the road, keep your hands on the steering wheel, and focus your

attention on driving.

. 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.
