Distracted Drivers?

 

now, they say research doesn't actually prove banning cell phones
prevents accidents.
My q. is; What would you include in the top 10 distractions drivers
experience?
They asked this to the class of a "safe-drivers" i took. AARP
Number one
...............................

 


Number 1 is having children in the car. My oldest friend is an EMT/
hazardous clean-up guy and he says the majority of fatal accidents
he's had to clean up, where driver distraction was the cause, happened
when the driver turned around to scream at or otherwise focus on his/
her larvae. The kids act up and mom drives into a tree. The majority
of non-distracted driver fatalities are caused by drunks. At least
that's been his experience. So...stay sober and leave the kids at home!

In no particular order:

Talking on the phone.  Worse with a hand-held, but a hands-free
thingy is still going to have their mind on the conversation.

Talking with other people in the car, especially kids in the back
seat.

Looking at a map.

Doing makeup/hair/shaving.

Honking, yelling, or gesturing at another motorist or a
pedestrian.

General mental overreaction to driving stress, like traffic jams.
