Distracted Driving

Being distracted while driving is dangerous. Concentrate on driving and keep your eyes on the road. • Do not drive with headsets or headphones that cover or go in both ears. Keep your radio at a low volume so that you can hear emergency vehicles. • Avoid answering your phone while driving. If you need to use your phone, pull over to the side of the road when it is safe. • Instruction permit and probationary license holders can only use a cell phone to report an emergency. • Regular license holders should avoid using a cell phone while driving. If you need to use your phone while driving, try the “Hands-free” option that your vehicle has.

 • Focus on driving. If you need to read directions, pull over to a safe location. Eat when your car is parked and not while driving. • Put pets in their carrier or have a passenger hold them. Do not hang things from your rearview mirror or clutter your windows with decals.
