Pence Nissan's Richmond dealership is concerned about the increased accidents resulting from distracted driving. We know our customers lead busy lives but there are no excuses for not paying attention when you are behind the wheel of your Nissan.
Here are some tips for driving your Nissan without distraction in order to stay more focused on the road and prevent accidents from occuring:
Keep your hands on the steering wheel at all times. You never know when sudden road hazards like a swerving vehicle, animal, or pedestrian will enter your lane.
Don't text while driving. Pull over to a safe location if you must send or read a message.
Dinner on the go can be dangerous. Eating and driving can take your eyes off of the road for far too long to be safe.
Keep passengers in check. Don't allow horseplay or loud chatter during your drive. Too much distraction can be detrimental to the driver's focus
Don't blast music or play videos while driving. It can be too easy to get involved in something other than the road.
Parents should advise teen drivers to remain alert while driving and teach them the consequences of what can happen when driving distractedly.
