Driven to Distraction
Posted on
Driving requires our attention. There are three types of distractions that take our attention away from driving:
- Visual taking our eyes off the road.
- Manual taking our hands off the wheel.
- Cognitive taking our mind off the task at hand.
Distractions can come in many forms including:
- Eating and drinking.
- Combing hair, putting on make-up.
- Reading. Yes, that includes reading a map.
- Adjusting the radio, iPod, etc.
- Using a cellphone (talking, dialing, etc)
- Texting.
All of these distractions are hazardous. But texting involves all three types of distraction and is therefore particularly dangerous. A study by the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute shows that sending or receiving a text takes a drivers eyes from the road for an average of 4.6 seconds. Traveling at 55 mph, this would be the same as driving the length of a football field while not looking at the road.
So what can we do?
- Dont allow yourself to be distracted from driving.
- Give teenage drivers clear instructions. Discuss the dangers of distracted driving with teenage drivers. Remember, Dont Drive InTEXTicated.
- Set an example. Its not just a teen issue. No one should text and drive. Safely pull off the road if you need to talk or text on the phone.
- Many states have enacted laws addressing cell phone use and texting while driving. Be familiar with your local laws.
Distracted driving is something we are all probably guilty of at some time or another. But it is also something we can correct. For more information on distracted driving visit www.distraction.gov, and if you have any tips for staying focused while driving, share them here.
