What should you avoid to prevent distracted driving?

• A. Using handheld devices.
• B. Keeping your eyes on the road and hands on the wheel.
• C. Listening to a radio at a normal volume.
• D. Adjusting the mirror while parked.

Answer: (A)

Staying focused while driving means keeping your eyes on the road, hands on the wheel, and your mind on driving. Using handheld devices breaks all three at once, pulling your attention away, taking a hand off the wheel, and delaying your reactions. That combination dramatically raises the risk of a crash, even if you think you can multitask. The safe behavior is to keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel, which helps you respond quickly to hazards. Listening to a radio at a normal volume can be a minor distraction, but it shouldn’t take your full attention. Adjusting mirrors or other controls should be done when the vehicle is parked, not while moving.
