Driving without total focus on the road can be deadly warns Houston's Ron Carter Chevrolet. Any driver is susceptible to losing focus with the countless distractions around. Distracted driving is not just limited to younger or older drivers but teens are more susceptible to allowing themselves to be distracted by friends, cell phones, and other non-driving related things.
If you are not focused on the road, you are putting yourself and others in danger. Losing concentration can have fatal consequences so here are some tips from Chevrolet experts:
Distracted driving is increased immeasurably by cell phones. Avoid talking, answering calls, or texting while in the driver's seat.
Keep your hands on the steering wheel at all times. Don't try driving with your knee or leg as you never know when a pedestrian, animal, or another vehicle may enter the roadway.
Keep your passengers under control at all times. Do not allow yelling, excessive moving, or other distractions during the drive. Limit the number of passengers you allow in your vehicle at one time.
Eating dinner on the go can be costly. You lose focus worrying about your bag of food instead of watching the road. Pull over to a safe location to eat before your resume driving.
Avoid loud music that not only takes away your focus from the road, it can limit any horns or other warning signals from fellow drivers.
