THINK FAST: Are you a distracted driver?




We know that we live in a world of distractions. But, when you’re driving, shouldn’t you be… you know, focused on driving? Unfortunately, for many people this isn’t the case. Nearly 80% of collisions and 65% of near-collisions involve driver distraction.

How do you know if you’re a distracted driver? Check out this list of typical behaviors:
  • Do you eat while driving?
  • Drink while driving?
  • Make phone calls while driving?
  • Text while driving?
  • Pay more attention to your passengers than the road?

If you said ‘yes’ to any of these questions, then you are driving with distractions, and you’re at a higher risk of being involved in or causing a crash. We recommend pulling off to the side of the road to make your phone calls and send your texts, stop eating on the go (it’s healthier if you don’t, anyway), and keep your eyes on the road.
