Steer clear of distracted driving with these safety tips

Steer clear of distracted driving with these safety tips

Multitasking may be a unique talent for some. However, it should be avoided at all costs when driving. According to a recent report, nine people die daily due to distracted driving. Texting is one of the most common forms of distracted driving. But there are multiple ways people partake in distracted driving.

Distracted driving comes in many forms. According to Esurance, the three main types of distractions are visual, manual and cognitive. Each of those senses plays a critical role in a successful driving trip. But when someone takes their eyes, hands or mind off of driving, they could harm themselves or others in the process.

Tips for avoiding a distracted driving crash

Keeping one’s senses at bay is easier said than done. Luckily, there are a few tips motorists can use to keep them out of harm’s way:

  • Avoid eating or drinking while driving
  • Make sure the kids get strapped into their seats
  • Make sure pets are secure in their kennels or other pet carriers
  • Pull off the road if drivers need to tend to an immediate issue
  • Invest in hands-free devices for making calls

Road safety is everyone’s responsibility

Texans love the open road. But when they suffer due to the negligence of others, victims aren’t the only ones that pay the price. If a distracted driver injures you or a loved one, you may benefit from the assistance of a trusted legal partner.
