How to Fight Distracted Driving and WIN
Distraction is everywhere. We think we can multitask, but the truth is we can’t. We weren’t designed to multitask. It’s like having too many windows open on your computer. Your reaction time slows down. From the inside, you don’t realize it, but it’s definitely noticeable.
Check Yourself
Hey guys, when was the last time you checked your phone while driving? Were your kids in the back seat?
You might think it’s not a big deal to check your phone while driving because nothing happened. You didn’t swerve or crash, and no one got hurt. Maybe that was the case this time and every other time before, but it won’t be the case every time.
Tip 1: Use a Hands-Free System
If you are going to use your phone while driving, make sure you use a hands-free system. That means you don’t have to touch anything to use the phone. It’s been proven that just talking on the phone while driving increases your chances of getting into an accident.
Tip 2: Never Text While Driving
Never text while driving; it’s not worth it to take your eyes off the road at all. Nearly 390,000 injuries occur each year in the US from texting and driving. When you text and drive, you are increasing your chances of getting into an accident by over 400%.
Tip 3: Check Your Attitude
Your attitude makes all the difference in the world, especially behind the wheel. If you are emotional, it’s not the time to get behind the wheel. Take a few moments to collect your thoughts before you take off.
