Distractions are easy to come by in the car, but they must be avoided and controlled at all costs. Being a distracted driver is not only dangerous to the driver, but it poses a real threat to everyone on the road.
It is recommended that you store your cell phone away in a safe area where you cannot access it unless there is an emergency. You need to do this just while you are actually driving, but it is still important. Yes, there are some special emergency circumstances in which you may need it, but that should be literally the only time you reach for it.
Keep yourself away from the temptation of having too many passengers in your vehicle by limiting the number of people that you allow in the car. Doing so will eliminate the need for you to try to talk to others and distract yourself from the road. Don’t let it happen.
