7 Tips To Avoid Distractions While Driving by AutoJoshNG: 1:43pm On Jan 12, 2017
As a driver, it is your duty to protect your life as well as the lives of others. Therefore, it is absolutely important not to be distracted while driving.

These 7 tips will help you avoid distractions while driving:

1. As a general rule, if you cannot devote your full attention to driving because of some other activity, it’s a distraction. Take care of it before or after your trip, not while behind the wheel.

2. If you have passengers, enlist their help so you can focus safely on driving.

3. Put aside your electronic distractions. Don’t use cell phones while driving – handheld or hands-free, except in absolute emergencies. Never use text messaging and email functions.. Never play video games or use the internet.

4. Snack smart. If possible, eat meals or snacks before or after your trip, not while driving. Avoid messy foods that can be difficult to manage.

5. Finish dressing and personal grooming at home – before you get on the road.

6. Secure children and pets before getting underway. If they need your attention, pull off the road safely to care for them. Reaching into the backseat can cause you to lose control of the vehicle.

7. Make adjustments before you begin your trip. Address vehicle systems like your seats, mirrors, climate controls and sound systems before hitting the road. Decide on your route ahead of time.

Do you abide by any of these tips, tell us in the comment section.

I really don't know how some people do it. I've seen people eat, drink, discuss, make calls and drive at the same time and i can't even do anything else hen driving except to talk while facing front.
