Quick Tips ;to Help You Avoid Distractions on the Road

Distracted driving is a dangerous habit ;that can lead to collisions and accidents. Keep yourself, your passengers, and other motorists safe by staying focused on the road at all times. If you're guilty of being a distracted driver ;DFW Distributors ;has some tips to help you lose the habit.

Drop the Phone

The immense amount of technology that surrounds us makes it hard to step away from our mobile devices sometimes. You've probably heard this countless times, but if you're driving, take a break from your phone and stay focused on the road. Ignore your incoming messages for the time begin and remember that you'll be able to check them as soon as you arrive at your destination. If you receive lots of phone calls while driving, invest in a hands free device to answer calls. If you don't have a hands free device, pull over to answer calls if it's absolutely necessary.

Children and Pets

Small children and pets are great, but they can get restless on long trips. Do your best to secure your pet in order to avoid having it distract you. If they're moving around and climbing on you, it ;can divert your attention away from the road. If you're traveling with a small child, provide them with snacks and activities before you hit the road. Keeping them entertained and hunger-free is one of the best ways to ensure they'll stay out of your hair as you concentrate on the road.

Make Adjustments

Before taking off, make the proper adjustments to your vehicle in order to ensure you're comfortable and can maneuver your vehicle properly. Check your mirrors and adjust your seat level if necessary. Make temperature adjustments and put on your favorite playlist in order to avoid having to make changes while driving. If you're using a GPS device, set your location before taking off. Keeping your car regularly maintained will also help ensure there are no problems with your vehicle's functions. Keep in mind that rattling noises or engine issues can completely distract you from the road.
