Driven To Distraction: Seven Solutions for Staying Safe
Distracted driving is one of the most rampant and insidious hazards on the highway today. While increasing federal and state action has placed heightened awareness and enforcement on the dangerous activity, it remains at the top of crash causes. However, distracting driving is a hazard that can somewhat easily be prevented with knowledge and willpower. The Governor’s Highway Safety Association (GHSA) provided the following rules, and we extracted seven that every driver must abide by to eradicate distracted driving.
- Don’t use your phone. Cell phones are the most common causes of distracted driving. Disable the ringer when driving to avoid unintentional distraction or temptation.

- If you absolutely need to make a call, pull over to a parking lot or comparably safe region.
